Still’s disease and Coxsackie B1 infection
Keywords:
juvenile chronic arthritis, pathogenesis, Still´s disease, Coxsackie B1 virusAbstract
The notion that microbial agents may be involved in Juvenile Chronic Arthritis has been a
matter of great interest and debate. We describe
a 14 year-old female with Still’s disease and
serological evidence of an acute infection due
to Coxsackie B1 virus. This case study suggests
that Coxsackie B1 virus may be implicated in
the pathogenesis of Still´s disease.
