Rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection from synovial fluid in blood culture bottles by direct matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection from synovial fluid in blood culture bottles by direct matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

<h4>Background</h4>The aim of this prospective study was to use direct matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to rapidly diagnose periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs).<h4>Method</h4>Synovial fluid was taken from 77 patien...
