Erythema nodosum manifestation of Parvovirus B19-associated reactive arthritis
Anti-CCP and RF values were significantly high in parvovirus (+) patients. Joint erosion was also prevalent in patients who tested positive for parvovirus. The findings of this study suggest that infection with parvovirus in patients with RA, and a possible role of this viral infection in the pathogenesis of RA may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA.
