Serum human neutrophil lipocalin: an effective biomarker for diagnosing bacterial infections.

CONCLUSION: HNL detection can help diagnose patients with infectious diseases, and the diagnostic efficacy of HNL is not affected by the infected site or by pathogenic bacterial species. The combination of HNL, PCT, and CRP has a superior performance at identifying bacterial infections compared with traditional biomarkers. PMID: 31672644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
