Varied syndromes during Coxsackie outbreaks warrant broad differentials in practice; leaves open prospective studies on organ-specific risks.

To characterize the diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations observed during an epidemic of Coxsackie virus infection.
Clinical and epidemiologic evaluation of patients affected during a community outbreak.
Virological and serological assessments to identify and confirm Coxsackie virus etiology.
Coxsackie virus outbreaks caused multiple distinct clinical syndromes across affected patients rather than a uniform disease presentation.
Infections manifested across diverse organ systems, causing conditions such as central nervous system disease, pleurodynia, and organ inflammation.

Artenstein et al. (1964) studied this question.
