Serological evidence of virus infection was sought in 31 consecutive patients presenting with knee swelling and compared with age/sex-matched controls. In a normal age/sex-matched control group, 42% of patients had evidence of recent or past infection with Coxsackie B virus, emphasising the care required in the evaluation of the significance of Coxsackie B neutralization titres in individual patients. Of 12 patients presenting with knee swelling and a history of a twisting injury, eight had serological evidence of recent or past infection with Coxsackie B virus, and one had evidence of a current adenovirus infection.
对31例连续出现膝关节肿胀的患者进行了病毒感染的血清学证据检测，并与年龄/性别匹配的对照组进行比较。在正常的年龄/性别匹配对照组中，42%的患者有近期或既往柯萨奇B病毒感染的证据，这突出了在评估个体患者中柯萨奇B病毒中和滴度意义时所需的谨慎。在12例有膝关节肿胀且有扭伤史的患者中，8例有近期或既往柯萨奇B病毒感染的血清学证据，1例有当前腺病毒感染的证据。
