Abstract:
:Coxsackievirus B infection is common in children and young adults, usually causing mild symptoms in the gastrointestinal or upper respiratory tract. However, some patients develop pleurodynia, carditis or aseptic meningitis. This viral infection can be serious in the fetus and fatal in the newborn. Coxsackievirus B infection may cause a postviral fatigue syndrome, juvenile-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and other chronic diseases.
