Purpose of review: The goal of this review is to provide an up to date understanding of the utility and limitations of the current tests utilized in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in total knee and hip arthroplasty.
Recent findings: Despite the growth in literature surrounding PJI diagnosis, there remains challenges in establishing a diagnosis of PJI. A combination of clinical, serum, and synovial tests and microbiologic and histologic examinations can yield a diagnosis in the majority of cases. Novel molecular and imaging studies may be beneficial for indeterminant cases. A number of emerging diagnostic tests have been proposed and may be incorporated into diagnostic algorithms in the future. Recently proposed stepwise diagnostic algorithms have shown high sensitivity and specificity. The diagnosis of PJI remains challenging due to a lack of tests that can definitively rule out infection. Diagnosis and investigations should occur in a stepwise fashion. There has been a plethora of new diagnostic tests introduced in attempts to improve the accuracy of diagnostic algorithms. The definition and algorithms for the diagnoses of PJI will continue to evolve as new techniques and tests are introduced.

ATTENTION has been increasingly focused on the users of multiple drugs by drug abuse researchers. Several authors have stated that, viewed in long-term trends, the single drug user is being replaced by a multiple drug user whose intake might include heroin, amphetamines, barbiturates, and psychedelics-either in combination or on successive occurrences (1-4). The question of multiple drug use becomes more complicated if the multiple drug users are, in fact, addicted to the drug or drugs they are taking. In a 1966 study in New York City, Abeles and co-workers noted that multiple drug use was increasing and that many persons were addicted to opiates and barbiturates (3). The problem of multiple drug use is exacerbated because treatment for withdrawal from one type of drug, such as heroin, may lead to the neglect of withdrawal stress from another type of drug, for example, barbiturates. As Abeles and co-workers pointed out, if one neglects the withdrawal symptoms caused by barbiturates, the patient may suffer serious convulsions which can result in death (3). Freedman also noted that many of today's addicts are multiple drug users. He contends that a decade ago the addict was generally using only
