Synovial fluid alpha-defensins in Lyme arthritis-a useful marker

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Lyme arthritis, one of the possible late manifestations of Lyme borreliosis, predominantly affects the supporting joints and in adults most often occurs in the form of monoarthritis of the knee. Early diagnosis is based on clinical findings and serology. PCR detection of Borrelia in synovial fluid has become an integral part of the laboratory testing algorithm. The clinical presentation and inflammatory markers in Lyme arthritis can resemble septic arthritis. Determining the levels of alpha-defensins (human neutrophil peptide (HNP 1-3)) in synovial fluid by liquid chromatography is a highly sensitive method revealing the presence of inflammatory process. Between 2020 and 2022, we examined eleven patients with Lyme arthritis of the knee. We measured levels of HNP 1-3 from synovial fluid by HPLC in patients, and we compared it with the corresponding C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in paired serum samples. In patients diagnosed with Lyme arthritis, HNP 1-3 levels in synovial fluid ranged from 2.5 to 261 mg/L, with a median of 46.5 mg/L. Average serum CRP was 43 mg/L. The results show that elevated HNP 1-3 can be consistent with not only septic arthritis or systemic disease, but also with Lyme arthritis, especially in patients with negative culture and 16S PCR from synovial fluid. Final diagnosis must be verified by examination for anti-Borrelia antibodies from serum and synovial fluid. The aim of this work is to introduce an HPLC method for the determination of alpha-defensins as one of the possible diagnostic markers.
