Aim

Prompt recognition and identification of the causative microorganism in acute septic arthritis of native and prosthetic joints is vital to increase the chances of successful treatment. The aim of this study was to independently assess the diagnostic accuracy of the multiplex BIOFIREĀ® Joint Infection (JI) Panel (investigational use only) in synovial fluid for rapid diagnosis

Method

Synovial fluid samples were prospectively collected at the University Medical Center Groningen from patients who had a clinical suspicion of a native septic arthritis, early acute (post-operative, within 3 months after arthroplasty) periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or late acute (hematogenous) PJI. JI Panel results were compared to culture-based methods as reference standard.
