Differential Diagnosis

In alphabetical order. ^{[1] [1]}

• Cholesterol emboli
• Infective endocarditis

• Pseudogout
• Seronegative spondyloarthropathy

• Trauma

Laboratory Findings

• CBC
• Electrolytes
• BUN / creatinine
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus
• ESR
• [[Blood cultures]
• Lyme titers
• Iron (psudogout)
• Synovial fluid analysis

Imaging Findings

• Radiographs

• Fractures
• Osteomyelitis signs

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Synovial fluid analysis

• Look for an infection, crystals, inflammation
• Gram stain, polarized light microscopy
• Cell counts should result in a WBC count less than 50,000/ml if inflamed
• Cell counts should result in a WBC count greater than 50,000/ml in infectious arthritis
