DIAGNOSIS OF MICROCRYSTALLINE JOINT DISEASES BY POLARIZATION MICROSCOPY: INTERPRETATION AND GUIDELINESFOR THEIR STUDY
https://doi.org/10.14412/1996-7012-2010-594
Abstract
The paper describes the basic principles of diagnosis of microcrystalline arthritis by polarization microscopy. Emphasis is laid on the importance
of determination of the crystals of sodium monourate and calcium pyrophosphate for the diagnosis of microcrystalline arthritis and on the techniques
of polarization microscopy and puncture of joints.
