Clinical rubella reinfection--a case of arthropathy.
We describe a case of arthropathy due to rubella reinfection. Clinical rubella reinfection with rash and lymphadenopathy has been reported but as far as we are aware this is the first report of a case with arthropathy as the sole presentation. Rubella IgG subclass and avidity tests confirmed the reinfection.
