Why the study?
Are blood interferon concentrations and the incidence of an antiviral state of cells elevated in children with acute transient synovitis compared to normal children?
Are blood interferon concentrations and the incidence of an antiviral state of cells elevated in children with acute transient synovitis compared to normal children?
Elevated interferon levels and antiviral cellular states in children with transient synovitis support the hypothesis of an acute viral etiology for the condition.
