AB Viruses are attractive candidates for infectious etiologic agents or
cofactors in the development of rheumatic diseases. The epidemic of HIV
infection and the recognition of emerging viruses continues to fuel
interest in the possible role of viruses in the pathogenesis of diseases
without defined etiologies. During 1994, roles for parvovirus B19 in
vasculitis and erosive rheumatoid arthritis were entertained. We were
reminded that rubella infection may present with polyarthritis. Our
understanding of the rheumatic disease manifestations of hepatitis C
virus infection was broadened to include polyarthritis. A possible role
for herpesviruses in Sjogren's syndrome continued to be explored without
definite resolution. Paramyxoviruses were offered as an agent in the
development of Paget's disease. The retroviruses continued to attract
attention because of rheumatic disease syndromes in AIDS patients and
the ability of retroviruses to latently infect the host and alter host
immune responses. This review highlights efforts made in the past year
to elucidate the role of viral infection in rheumatic disease.
