Coxsackie group B fatal neonatal myocarditis associated with cardiomegaly.
Most fatal cases of Coxsackie group B neonatal myocarditis have been associated with nursery epidemics. Occasional sporadic cases have been reported, mainly from the U.S.A., and a further case with gross cardiomegaly is described.
متن کاملMyocarditis: an expected health hazard associated with water resources contaminated with Coxsackie viruses type B.
Enteroviruses, especially Coxsackie B viruses (CBVs), are responsible for approximately 50% of cases of viral myocarditis. In the present study, serum samples (160) were collected from acute myocarditis patients at different age groups and 104 samples of the same age groups as a control. Cholesterol, LDH, CPK, and GOT were measured for all serum samples (264). Also, to study the source of virus...
متن کاملPhyllaemblicin B inhibits Coxsackie virus B3 induced apoptosis and myocarditis.
Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3) is believed to be a major contributor to viral myocarditis since virus-associated apoptosis plays a role in the pathogenesis of experimental myocarditis. In this study, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo antiviral activities of Phyllaemblicin B, the main ellagitannin compound isolated from Phyllanthus emblica, a Chinese herb medicine, against CVB3. Herein we repo...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcal Myocarditis
Bacterial myocarditis is an uncommon form of infectious myocarditis. The definitive diagnosis requires histopathology with evidence of bacterial invasion. We report a case of group B streptococcal myocarditis secondary to septicaemia with complete atrioventricular (AV) block and new left bundle branch block. The histopathology revealed patchy small foci of myocyte necrosis. The necrotic areas c...
متن کاملAssociation of group B coxsackie viruses with cases of pericarditis, myocarditis, or pleurodynia by demonstration of immunoglobulin M antibody.
Tests for immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to group B coxsackieviruses were performed on sera from 259 patients with a clinical diagnosis of pericarditis, myocarditis, or pleurodynia on whom there were no definitive serological or virus isolation findings to establish a viral etiology, and on 259 "control" patients with clinical diagnoses of viral or mycoplasmal pneumonia or pneumonitis. IgM ant...
