In patients with PJI, microcalorimetry missed 4 pathogens which grew in synovial fluid culture, whereas culture missed 4 pathogens detected by microcalorimetry. A linear correlation (r = 0.366) was found between leukocyte count and microcalorimetric heat in synovial fluid (p less then 0.001). The median time to positivity of microcalorimetry was 9 h (range, 1-64 h) vs. 3 days for cultures (range, 1-14 days). Conclusion Microcalorimetry of synovial fluid allows thermogenic diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection in synovial fluid.
