Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to evaluate the interest of the repeated measurement of procalcitonin in patients with pulmonary infection to reduce the duration of antibiotic therapy in comparison with a conventional clinical strategy.

Procalcitonine

every 2 days, they will receive the dose of PCT and decide to stop antibiotic treatment according to the algorithm 2. They will notify the results of clinical evaluations in the electronics and all adverse event report forms.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

procalcitonine

Intervention Type OTHER

The recommendations will be based on the level of PCT: 4 levels of advice will be given:

* It is highly recommended to stop antibiotics if PCT \<0.1ng/ml, and the recommended stop if 0.1ng/ml \<PCT \<0.25 ng / ml.
* It is recommended to continue treatment if 0.25 ng / ml \<PCT ng / ml.
* Finally, if the initial PCT greater than 10 ng / ml, a stop will be advised in case of reduction to less than 10% of baseline level.

contrôle

Only clinical reassessments will be conducted and documented. Data on antibiotic will be listed and all adverse events. Data on the PCT from D2 to D4, D6, D8 and D15 output or will not be available to the prescriber.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
