parvovirus b19 (Fifth's disease)

Last year I posted a question concerning parvovirus b19 and MS.  I was wondering if any new information has surfaced about it and possible connections to autoimmune disorders.

Here is the abstract of a study looking for a link between Parvo B19 and autoimmune diseases.  Some links have been found to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic sclerosis and vasculitides (which are diseases which cause vasculitis (inflammation and blockage of small lood vessels, usually small arteries.)  This was published this year.  It doesn't mention MS, but I am still looking.
