Synovial fluid presepsin as a novel biomarker for the rapid differential diagnosis of native joint septic arthritis from crystal arthritis

Objective: To investigate whether presepsin can be used as a novel biomarker to differentiate between native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) and crystal arthritis (CA). Methods: This study included 75 patients diagnosed with either NJSA (n = 21) or CA (n = 54). Presepsin in synovial fluid and blood, C...
