After a field trial of rubella virus vaccine (HPV‐77 DK 12 strain), 329 children (2.8%) developed joint symptoms. Forty had complete rheumatologic evaluation and constitute the basis of this report. Twenty children (50%) had predominantly knee complaints; 13 (33%) had symptoms suggesting the carpal tunnel syndrome; and 7 (17%) had polyarthritis. The mean duration of arthritis was 18.4 days, and the mean interval between vaccination and onset of arthritis was 30.6 days.
