Rheumatoid Arthritis and the Virus Hypothesis

  • Conference paper
Experimental Models of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Part of the book series: Bayer-Symposium ((BAYER-SYMP,volume 6))

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has some of the features of a chronic infective disease; hypotheses of its infective etiology are seldom out of fashion for very long and their sophistication broadly parallels new knowledge and technical advances in microbiology.
