Core Tip

Core Tip: Early warning of the occurrence of infection during treatment and timely anti-infective treatment are of great significance for the early prevention and treatment of postoperative infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Changes in the levels of inflammatory mediators are closely related to the occurrence and development of postoperative infection, and procalcitonin is a sensitive indicator for diagnosing bacterial infections and is widely used in clinical practice.
