GROUP B, COXSACKIE VIRUS INFECTION IN INFANTS WITH ACUTE LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE
1 The Hastings Foundation Infectious Disease Laboratory and Department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California School of Medicine and the Children's Division, Los Angeles County General Hospital
The clinical, clinical laboratory, and viral aspects of 12 infants with acute, lower respiratory disease associated with group B, Coxsackie virus infection and/or isolation have been described. The prevalence of group B, Coxsackie virus infection was significantly greater among infants with lower respiratory disease than in infants without disease. Although a definite etiologic association could not be made because of the presence of concomitant infections with other viral agents, it was concluded that the group B, Coxsackie viruses might ultimately be added to the list of agents responsible for lower respiratory disease in infancy.
