AB Viruses have long been considered candidates for infectious etiologic
agents or cofactors in the development of rheumatic diseases. The
current epidemic of HIV infection and the recognition of emerging
viruses has focused interest on the possible role of viruses in
pathogenesis of diseases without defined etiology. Over the past year,
the role of parvovirus B19 in chronic arthropathy was further defined.
Additional data added to our understanding of the mechanisms by which
rubella virus may cause chronic arthritis. We were reminded of the
potential the togaviruses have to cause epidemics of febrile arthritis.
The developing story of hepatitis C virus in essential mixed
cryoglobulinemia encourages us to explore strategies for specific
antiviral therapies. The members of the herpesvirus family came under
scrutiny for their role in Sjogren's syndrome. The retroviruses continue
to attract attention because of rheumatic disease syndromes in AIDS
patients and the suggestion that still undefined retroviruses may play
an etiologic role in rheumatoid arthritis. This review highlights
efforts made in the past year to elucidate the role of viral infection
in rheumatologic disease.
