About this listen
Join DASON Liaison Jeannette Bouchard as she hosts Dr. Dan Ilges and Dr. Ryan Stevens to discuss the recent article published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology titled: “Real-world Utility of Procalcitonin in Patients Hospitalized with Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Matched Cohort Study.” Together, they unpack how this study challenges the utility of procalcitonin in guiding antibiotic use for CAP, explores implications for diagnostic stewardship, and reflects on strategies to optimize antimicrobial decision-making in inpatient care.
