Assessment of a New Test in Diagnosing Pediatric Septic Arthritis
Abstract
Septic arthritis in pediatric population is a serious condition that needs to be diagnosed and dealt with immediately to avoid major and irreversible complications. Most researches through past 30 years focus on finding an accurate and rapid way in the diagnosis of septic arthritis in children, but the studies failed to find a single rapid and accurate diagnostic test to distinguish between transient synovitis and septic arthritis in children.
