- Abstract
Although viral-associated arthritis or reactive arthritis should be considered in differential diagnosis, they do not describe if the synovial fluid was analyzed. No patient had evident arthritis at admission, but four (1.3%) developed acute arthritis during hospitalization all due to crystal-proven flares (gout and calcium pyrophosphate disease). It is necessary to follow up patients with SARS-CoV-2 who developed new onset of arthritis but we want to insist that it remains essential to check the synovial fluid in every arthritis by polarized microscopy, especially in recent or acute arthritis - even during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
