Cytologic examination of synovial fluid has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. Few pathologists are proficient in the interpretation of the occasional synovial fluids that most cytology laboratories receive. The majority of the aspirated synovial fluids are sent only for bacterial culture and valuable information from the cytologic examination is missed. We describe how pathologists should perform analysis of these fluids and what kind of information they can provide to the physician.
滑膜液的细胞学检查已被证明在各种关节疾病的诊断中有用。很少有病理学家精通解读大多数细胞学实验室收到的偶尔出现的滑膜液。大多数抽取的滑膜液仅送去做细菌培养，从而遗漏了细胞学检查的宝贵信息。我们描述了病理学家应如何对这些液体进行分析以及他们能为医生提供何种信息。
