Abstract

Bone structures reveal viral DNA/RNA, but little is known of the interaction and pathogenesis of viruses and bone diseases. Their detection and identification is often overlooked and not considered by many clinicians and researchers. In this Editorial, we suggest the role of viruses in some inflammatory bone conditions and their possible role as aetiological agents in bone and joint infections.
