Presepsin: A potential biomarker of PJI? A comparative analysis with known and new infection biomarkers [PDF]

, 2017
There is still no “gold standard” for the diagnosis and prognosis of post-operative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Among serum biomarkers, an emerging molecule is presepsin, the soluble fraction of CD14, recently described in other settings as a ...

The Definition of Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI)

, 2012
It seems simple to define what a PJI is. The problem is that definitions vary depending on the author involved. It has become accepted that the PJI diagnosis is confirmed when there is purulence around the joint, there is a communication between the skin and the implant, and when causative agent(s) are isolated in multiple samples. In this chapter each
