Should not change clinical practice for Coxsackie infections; hypothesis-generating for age-dependent tissue susceptibility in viral models.
Does age influence the susceptibility of white mice to experimental Coxsackie B-3 infection?
The study demonstrates that age dictates tissue-specific susceptibility to Coxsackie B-3 infection in mice, with cardiac vulnerability peaking between 12 and 23 days of age.
Grodums et al. (1959) studied this question.
