We describe 2 cases of 6-year-old twin girls presenting with acute carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) associated with human parvovirus B19 (HPV-B19) infection, as evidenced by serological data and detection of HPV-B19 DNA in blood with use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To our knowledge, this is the first time that HPV-B19 infection has been suggested as the causal agent of simultaneous acute bilateral CTS in twins, thus presenting the possibility that similar immunologic responses can be observed in twins during viral infections.
我们描述了2例6岁双胞胎女孩，她们表现出与人类细小病毒B19（HPV-B19）感染相关的急性腕管综合征（CTS），血清学数据以及使用聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测血液中的HPV-B19 DNA证实了这一点。据我们所知，这是首次有人提出HPV-B19感染是双胞胎同时发生急性双侧CTS的病因，因此提示在病毒感染期间双胞胎可能会出现类似的免疫反应。
