2015, Indian Journal of RheumatologyCitation Excerpt :A host of infectious agents have been ‘linked’ with KD or incriminated in the pathogenesis of the disease. These include coronavirus,19 parvovirus,20 Staphylococcus aureus,21 Epstein–Barr virus,22 chlamydia23 and mycobacteria.24 Staphylococcal and streptococcal superantigens have been hypothesized as triggering agents in the cascade of KD.1
Human parvovirus B19 and autoimmune diseases. Review of the literature and pathophysiological hypotheses
2015, Journal of Clinical VirologyCitation Excerpt :This data hypothesize that PVB19 (auto-) immunity can induce/involve CD4+ T cells with strong cytolytic potential (Natural Killer cells CD56 surface marker, expression of cytolytic proteins…) and suggest that such cells could function within both immune regulation and triggering of autoimmune phenomena such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis [19]. Data published in the literature over the last 20 years suggest that PVB19 could be involved in the induction or pathogenesis of numerous systemic autoimmune diseases including: Adult-onset Still’s disease, Dermatomyositis, Sjögren syndrome, Systemic scleroderma, Giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis), Henoch–Schönlein purpura, Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Kawasaki disease and Polyarteritis nodosa [20–57]. However, these numerous articles (essentially on the basis of case reports or limited patient series) were insufficient to establish a definite relationship between PVB19 infection and these pathologies.
