Evaluation of a rapid lateral flow calprotectin test for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection

2019-08-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Microbiological diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) relies on culture techniques that are slow and insensitive. Rapid tests are urgently required to improve patient management. Calprotectin is a neutrophil biomarker of inflammation that has been demonstrated to be effective for the diagnosis of PJI. A calprotectin based lateral flow test has been developed for the rapid detection of P...
