Excerpt
Various bacterial agents are considered in the differential diagnosis of acute arthritis, but little consideration is given to a viral etiology, although a variety of viral agents have been associated with clinical arthritis. Representation is limited to a small number of the major groups of viruses. The reported viral agents have been categorized as those in which arthritis is either a common or presenting clinical feature (Table 1) and those in which arthritis is a very uncommon feature (Table 2). This review emphasizes the need to consider these agents in the differential diagnosis of acute arthritis.
