Diagnostic accuracy of multiplex polymerase chain reaction on tissue biopsies in periprosthetic joint infections

Abstract The diagnosis and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) currently relies on cultures, which are time-consuming and often fail. Multiplex PCR assays promise reliable and prompt results, but have been heterogeneously evaluated. In this study, we analyse multiplex PCR in pathogen i...
