Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes a rare presentation of adenovirus type 7 infection associated with inflammatory arthritis and transient complement abnormalities.
Alerts clinicians to rare adenovirus synovitis; leaves open causal role and need for larger studies.
A patient with adenovirus infection and synovitis is described. He presented with fever, acute respiratory disease, macular erythematous rash, aseptic meningitis and inflammatory arthritis of both knees. All symptoms resolved completely over a 3‐week period. Acute and convalescent sera revealed a significant rise in antibodies to adenovirus type 7. The patient's serum C3 was elevated and serum C4 relatively depressed during the onset of symptoms; both values returned towards normal with recovery.
