BACKGROUND
Previous studies have postulated a connection between human parvovirus B19 (B19) infection and anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL). Recently, the phospholipase domain of B19 has been linked to B19-VP1 unique region (VP1u). To elucidate the roles of VP1u in B19 infection and aPL production,
OBJECTIVE
Parvovirus B19 causes erythema infectiosum in children, transient aplastic anemia in patients with hemoglobinopathies, pur red cell aplasia in immunocompromised persons and hydrops fetalis in pregnancy. The spectrum of clinical and biological manifestations in immunocompetent adult
OBJECTIVE
To assess the phospholipid specificity and immunoglobulin isotype of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies in patients with acute parvovirus B19 infection.
METHODS
Specificity of aPL and isotype distribution in the negatively charged phospholipids, cardiolipin and phosphatidyl serine, and in
BACKGROUND
Human parvovirus B19 infection has been frequently described as a cause or trigger of various autoimmune diseases. In previous studies, we have postulated the association among human parvovirus B19 (B19)-VP1 unique region (VP1u), production of anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (anti-beta2GPI)
BACKGROUND
Human parvovirus B19 infection has been postulated to the anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) in autoimmunity. However, the influence of anti-B19-VP1u antibody in autoimmune diseases is still obscure.
METHODS
To elucidate the effect of anti-B19-VP1u antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus
We sought to evaluate a possible link between parvovirus B19 infection and the clinical and laboratory expression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE patients were examined to evaluate their clinical status and disease activity. A complete Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index
Children with rheumatic oligo- and polyarthritis frequently establish persistent parvovirus B19 infections, which may be associated with the production of antiphospholipid antibodies. Reported in this paper are the data of five girls with polyarticular rheumatic diseases of different types and
Parvovirus B19 (B19) causes many clinical disorders, of which the most common are erythema infectiosum, aplastic crisis complicating chronic hemolytic anemia, and hydrops fetalis. In young adults, the skin eruption caused by B19 is accompanied with polyarthritis and polyarthralgia in 60% of the
