Coxsackie virus infection is aetiologically linked to specific clinical syndromes including pericarditis and cardiomyopathy, but its role in non-specific illnesses remains unclear.
Seventy-six patients with recent Coxsackie infection were reviewed. The Coxsackie virus was considered to be aetiologically significant in patients with pleurodynia, meningitis, pericarditis, cardiomyopathy and orchitis. In patients with pneumonia or with a diagnosis of ‘non-specific illness' it was difficult to assess the significance of Coxsackie virus.
