(P0.0003), and decreased SynF parameters of infec- tion (P 0.02) and inflammation (p 0.05) than control horses. PRP-L-treated horses also had signif- icantly lower bacterial loads in SynF (P 0.006) and end-term synovium (P 0.01) than control horses. Horses treated with PRP-L also had improved ultra- sonographic and histological assessments.
4. Discussion
The results of this study strongly support the use of PRP-L in combination with antimicrobials to treat infectious arthritis.
