    Abstract

    Pneumonia is one the most common potentially fatal infectious disease. Bio-markers provide a useful tool in predicting severity, mortality and prognostication of pneumonia. Procalcitonin and CRP can be considered as the primary markers in patients with bacterial pneumonia during infection and estimation of their serum levels in association with CURB-65 criteria can be used to assess the severity of Pneumonia.
