AB  - The occurrence of arthritis in patients who were infected by a virus has been 
      widely observed. In some cases, the clinical appearance seems to resemble that of 
      rheumatoid arthritis. The mechanism by which the viral infection proceeds to the 
      arthritic manifestation is, however, still to be investigated. Several biological 
      and immunological pathways are suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis. The 
      representatives of such potentially 'arthritogenic' viruses include human T-cell 
      lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), which causes destructive inflammatory 
      arthritis in model animals. Other examples are hepatitis C virus and rubella 
      virus. Clinical and pathological features of these virus-induced forms of 
      arthritis are discussed.
