Integrity and full coding sequence of B19 virus DNA persisting in human synovial tissue

Abstract excerpt

Primary infection by human parvovirus B19 is often accompanied by arthropathy of varying duration, of which the most severe cases can be indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While this might seem to imply a role in RA pathogenesis, recent studies have verified long-term persistence of B19 DNA in synovial tissue not only in patients with rheumatoid or juvenile arthritis, but also in immunocompetent,...
