    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1999 Nov; 26(11):2482-4. PubMed ID: 10555914.
    Abstract:
    A 22-year-old Caucasian woman with a 6 year history of persistently active, systemic onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) developed symptoms of headache, dry cough, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dehydration associated with a high fever, elevated liver enzymes, and lymphopenia. Subsequent investigation revealed acute infection with parvovirus B19. Following clinical improvement over 10-14 days solely with supportive care, her underlying disease remained in remission for about 7 months.
