Abstract :
Dear Editor, We have read with interest the recently published article entitled “Usefulness of serum procalcitonin level for prediction of vesicoureteral reflux in pediatric urinary tract infection” by Mortazavi and Ghojazadeh. They aimed to evaluate the predictive value of procalcitonin in describing vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). They concluded that elevated procalcitonin level may be used for prediction of all grades of VUR in children with febrile urinary tract infection. We would like to thank the authors for their contribution.
