Arthritis, Septic
Surgical Lavage vs Serial Needle Aspiration for Infected Joints
Joint spaces are aseptic areas, meaning that they do not contain microorganisms. Any injury to the joint space could cause the entry of microorganisms, with the potential to cause infection.

- NCT00313365
- Testing
- Surgical Lavage (Arthrotomy), Arthrocentesis (Serial needle aspiration)
- Where
- United States
- Sponsor
- Emory University
Bacterial Infections, Bacteremia
Procalcitonin Level and Kinetics in Children With Bacterial Infections
The purposes of this study are: 1. To determine whether procalcitonin level at admission of pediatric patients with bacterial infections can be used as a marker for prediction of defervescence and hospitalization length 2.
