Abstract
THE association of swollen painful joints with acute rubella infection has been noted repeatedly since it was first mentioned by Box1 in 1917 and described by Geiger2 in 1918. The present case is remarkable because it is the first case of rubella synovitis to be reported in an infant, it is the first report of isolation of rubella virus from synovial fluid, and it is the second report of isolation of any virus from joint fluid in a patient with acute synovitis.Case ReportA 14-month-old infant was admitted to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital because she refused to stand on . . .Keywords
