Detection of bacterial pathogens in synovial and pleural fluid with the FilmArray Blood Culture Identification System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the use of FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) multiplex PCR system for pathogen detection from a child with septic arthritis that Streptococcus pyogenes was identified directly from synovial fluid and a child with complicated pneumonia with pleural effusion that Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified from pleural fluid.

Background : An accurate and prompt diagnosis of bacterial arthritis is essential for earlier treatment and a good outcome. Superantigens produced by Staph. Aureus are among the most lethal toxins. The paper objective was Identification of common bacterial antigens and S.aureus superantigens in synovial fluid (SF) of children with negative culture and direct smear for other bacteria except fo...
متن کاملBlood Culture Bottle and Standard Culture Bottle Methods for Detection of Bacterial Pathogens in Parapneumonic Pleural Effusion
BACKGROUND Bacterial parapneumonic pleural effusions (PPEs) have high morbidity. The accurate identification of pathogens is vital for initiating the appropriate treatment. A previous study suggested that the use of blood culture bottles might improve the bacterial yield in PPEs. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the culture positivity rate by the blood culture bottles and the s...
متن کامل707Rapid Identification of Pathogens Causing Septic Arthritis using FilmArray®
Background. Septic arthritis (SA) is a common and serious infection in children and can cause significant orthopedic morbidity. Bacteria are most often implicated, but routine cultures are frequently negative, because of prior antibiotics or delayed evaluation of joint fluid (JF). As such, children are treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. A rapid molecular test that can identify the common ...
