Joint Effusion Clinical Trial
Official title:
Use of Infrared Spectroscopy in Fast Septic Arthritis Diagnosis
To study the diagnostic performance of infrared spectroscopy on fresh synovial fluids in early septic arthritis diagnosis in patients with acute joint effusion
Diagnosis of a joint effusion is frequently a medical emergency, especially when septic arthritis is suspected. Septic arthritis diagnosis relies on microscopic and bacteriological analysis of synovial fluid obtained by arthrocentesis. Direct microscopic examination can be made within 2 to 12 hours but it is negative in about 50 % of the cases. It is necessary to wait 72 hours to obtain the result of the culture and reasonably rule out the diagnosis of septic arthritis. A method of establishing an immediate etiological diagnosis could improve the care of patients with joint effusion that is a therapeutic emergency and justify a hospitalization and a parenteral antibiotic therapy. ;
