Membranous particles of mycoplasma-like appearance (100 to 300 nm in diameter) and non-membranous particles which are viral-like (20 to 80 nm in diameter) were observed in negatively-stained preparations of synovial fluid pellets from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthrosis (OA) or psoriatic arthritis (PA). The incidence of positive fluids were: membranous particles--22/28 (RA), 7/11 (OA), 1/3 (PA); non-membranous particles--12/28 (RA), 1/11 (OA), 1/3 (PA). Eight of the RA fluids, one OA and one PA fluid were positive for both types of particle. The observation of an increased frequency of viral-like particles in RA synovial fluids compared to OA and PA fluids is of possible aetiological interest. Viral-like particles were also observed in the nuclei of rheumatoid synovial macrophage syncytia by electron microscopy of ultra-thin sections of cultured cells.
