About This Trial
The goal of this observational study is to measure the diagnostic accuracy of the Multiplex PCR technique in identifying pathogens during the diagnostic stage of resolving pre-implantation infection, in the context of treatment according to two-stage protocol for PJIs. This evaluation will be conducted by comparing the results obtained by Multiplex PCR with those derived from standard culture exam…
