Molecular diagnosis of Ureaplasma urealyticum septic arthritis in a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia
Arthritis Rheum.
1992 Apr.
Abstract
Objective: We report a hypogammaglobulinemic patient with a destructive oligoarticular arthritis, whose synovial fluid cultures were repeatedly sterile.
Methods and results: We identified a Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in his affected joints, using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
Conclusion: The PCR technique promises to be extremely valuable in the rapid and specific diagnosis of infectious arthritis.
