Human parvovirus B19 DNA in synovial fluid.
We describe a 33-year-old woman with a serologically proven human parvovirus B19 infection, who developed synovitis. Using a dot-blot hybridization technique, we detected B19 DNA in her synovial fluid. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the isolation of B19 from synovial fluid.
