An arthropathy has been recently described in association with human parvovirus infection (HPV-B19). Human parvovirus B19 has also been implicated as the etiologic agent in erythema infectiosum, a childhood exanthem that may occur in adults in association with joint manifestations. In this study, two adults are described, in whom an acute arthropathy and rash developed after contact with children with erythema infectiosum.
