Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how reliable laboratory findings are in diagnosing acute appendicitis (AA) in children aged 0-15.
- It analyzed the blood levels of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocyte count in 114 children with abdominal pain.
- The results showed that PCT and CRP have high predictive values, with PCT being particularly effective in diagnosing AA, while CRP and leukocytes serve as supportive indicators for timely clinical assessment.
