Rubella virus as an etiological agent in Rheumatoid arthritis has been investigated. Synovial fluid obtained from 28 cases and the sera from 70 cases (43 girls, 27 boys) has been screened for hemagglutination inhibition antibodies. As a control group, 36 cases (20 normal, 16 children with non-rheumatoid arthritis) were incluated in the study. There was no difference in the antibody titers of the two groups. Therefore, we could not establish a direct relation of Rubella virus with rheumatoid arthritis.
风疹病毒作为类风湿性关节炎的病原体已被研究。对28例患者的滑液和70例患者（43名女孩，27名男孩）的血清进行了血凝抑制抗体筛查。作为对照组，36例患者（20名正常人和16名非类风湿性关节炎儿童）被纳入研究。两组的抗体滴度没有差异。因此，我们无法确定风疹病毒与类风湿性关节炎之间的直接关系。
