Arthritis associated with hepatitis: clinical and pathogenetic considerations. 1980

A S Bayer

Synovitis may complicate such commonly seen viral infections as hepatitis, rubella, and mumps. This article describes clinical features of hepatitis-associated arthritis and discusses its likely pathogenesis. In subsequent issues the author will consider arthritis associated with rubella, mumps, Coxsackievirus, and adenovirus.
