The Alpha-defensin Test for Periprosthetic Joint Infection Responds to a Wide Spectrum of Organisms
BACKGROUND: The alpha-defensin test has been previously demonstrated to be highly accurate in the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), nearly matching the Musculoskeletal Infection Society definition for PJI. However, the relationship between alpha-defensin levels and differing infecting o...
