Myxovirus antibody increases in human connective tissue disease

Myxovirus antibody increases in human connective tissue disease

P E Phillips et al. Science. .

Abstract

Antibodies to measles and parainfluenza type 1 viruses were significantly increased in systemic lupus erythematosus and Reiter's syndrome. Of the individuals with highest titers of measles antibody, 75 percent had neurologic illness. Persistent virus infection may be a factor in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
