The clinical course. The plasma presepsin (P-SEP), serum procalcitonin (PCT), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels after the removal of pericardial effusion containing Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are indicated. Although the serum PCT levels did not change throughout the clinical course, the plasma P-SEP levels remained very high until the patient’s serum MAC antibody titer was negative. After the perioperative period with a peak level of 15.99 mg/dL, hsCRP remained below 1.00 mg/dL
