Abstract

Parvovirus B19 classically causes erythema infectiosum in children, febrile arthralgia or acute erythroblastopenia in adult. The clinical spectrum of adult primary infection is sometimes misleading. We report an observation of an acute rheumatoid-like arthritis following primary parvovirus B19 infection in a 42-year-old woman.
