The present invention relates to a method for detecting a synovial joint infection comprising the steps of contacting a synovial fluid sample with at least one lysozyme substrate, and detecting a synovial joint infection when a conversion of said at least one substrate is determined
Claims13
A method for detecting a synovial joint infection comprising the steps of
- contacting a synovial fluid sample with at least one lysozyme substrate, and
- detecting a synovial joint infection when a conversion of said at least one substrate is determined.
A method for discriminating between a synovial joint infection and a non-infectious inflammatory condition of a synovial joint comprising the steps of
- contacting a synovial fluid sample of a mammal show ing symptoms of a synovial joint condition with at least one lysozyme substrate,
- detecting a synovial joint infection when a conversion of said at least one substrate is determined in said sample and
- detecting a non-infectious inflammatory condition when substantially no lysozyme activity is determined.
