The evaluation of acute inflammatory knee arthritis deserves special emphasis, because immediate benefit may result from identification and treatment of the underlying disease. The diagnostic approach to and the differential diagnosis of an acute knee arthritis are presented. By means of a case report, the use of the needle arthroscopy and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for analysis of synovial fluid and synovial tissue in the diagnosis and evaluation of treatment of Lyme disease is described. The significance of this approach in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures has yet to be defined.
急性炎症性膝关节炎的评估值得特别强调，因为识别和治疗潜在疾病可能会带来直接益处。本文介绍了急性膝关节炎的诊断方法和鉴别诊断。通过一个病例报告，描述了在莱姆病的诊断和治疗评估中，使用针式关节镜检查以及聚合酶链反应（PCR）方法分析滑液和滑膜组织的情况。这种方法在诊断和治疗程序中的意义尚未明确。
