Clinical evaluation of a multiplex PCR-based test for joint infection: a prospective diagnostic accuracy study of forty-nine patients
The BJI Panel has a high accuracy for detecting the pathogens in its panel, but the absence of important common pathogens from the panel reduces its sensitivity and NPV. With a short turnaround time and precise pathogen detection, the BJI Panel has the potential to add value as a complementary diagnostic method.
