Myxovirus Antibody Increases in Human Connective Tissue Disease

Paul E. Phillips 1 and Charles L. Christian 1

1 Department of Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York 10032

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.
