To evaluate the utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification in detecting DNA from venereal\u2010associated microorganisms in the synovial fluid of patients with inflammatory arthritis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Oligonucleotide primers were developed for nested PCR based on <jats:italic>Chlamydia, Ureaplasma<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Neisseria<\/jats:italic> DNA sequences. PCR products were detected by gel electrophoresis and dot\u2010blot hybridization. Primers specific for the target bacterial DNA were used to search for bacterial DNA in 61 synovial fluid specimens from patients with inflammatory arthritis, including several clinically associated with venereal infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Five of the 61 synovial fluid specimens were positive for <jats:italic>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic> DNA. Four of the 5 patients had clinical diagnoses of gonococcal arthritis; the other patient had an unexplained monarthritis. One specimen from a patient with a clinical diagnosis of gonococcal arthritis was negative for <jats:italic>N gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>. Three of the 61 specimens were positive for <jats:italic>Chlamydia<\/jats:italic> DNA. Two were derived from patients with clinical diagnoses of reactive arthritis or Reiter's syndrome, and 1 was from a patient with unexplained monarthritis. One of the 61 specimens was positive for <jats:italic>Ureaplasma<\/jats:italic> DNA; this sample was from a patient with a clinical diagnosis of Reiter's syndrome. In an additional patient with Reiter's syndrome, <jats:italic>Ureaplasma<\/jats:italic> DNA was also found in prostate biopsy tissue and a urine sample obtained after prostate massage (synovial fluid not available).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. These data support the classification of these 3 venereal\u2010associated arthritides as infectious processes, and suggest that PCR for bacterial DNA is a useful method for detecting infectious agents in synovial fluid.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780390612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,14]],"date-time":"2007-02-14T11:40:11Z","timestamp":1171453211000},"page":"950-958","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Molecular detection of bacterial DNA in venereal\u2010associated arthritis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Feng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rula","family":"Bulbul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"H.
