Parvovirus Infection Triggering Still's Disease.

Unlabelled: We present the case of a 59-year-old man with acute B19 parvovirus infection who developed a systemic inflammatory reaction similar to adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). We discuss the clinical challenge due to overlapping symptoms to distinguish between a primary B19 viral infection and the autoimmune disease it can trigger.

Learning Points: Distinguishing between primary B19 parvovirus infection and autoimmune diseases can be difficult in view of the significant symptom overlap.
