Bone structures reveal viral DNA/RNA, but little is known of the interaction and pathogenesis of viruses and bone diseases. Their detection and identification is often overlooked and not considered by many clinicians and researchers. In this Editorial, we suggest the role of viruses in some inflammatory bone conditions and their possible role as aetiological agents in bone and joint infections.
骨骼结构可揭示病毒DNA/RNA，但病毒与骨病之间的相互作用及发病机制却鲜为人知。许多临床医生和研究人员常常忽视对它们的检测与识别，对此未予以考虑。在这篇社论中，我们提出病毒在某些炎症性骨病中的作用，以及它们作为骨与关节感染病因的潜在作用。
