Urosepsis is dened as sepsis (septicemia syndrome) which is caused by an infection of the urinary tract. In sepsis, increased levels of procalcitonin in the blood have a signicant value that can be used as biomarkers of sepsis. this study aims to correlate the levels of procalcitonin with the type of bacteria in urosepsis patients.

Of the 58 study samples, 30 samples (51.7%) were male and 28 others (48.3%) were women. The age of the patient has a mean of 51 years. Of the 17 samples with procalcitonin levels above 10, 15 of them had gram negative culture results.
