  2. Coxsackievirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxsackievirus

    Coxsackie B infection of the heart can lead to pericardial effusion. The development of insulin-dependent diabetes has recently been associated with recent enteroviral infection, particularly coxsackievirus B pancreatitis. This relationship is currently being studied further.

  3. Coxsackie B virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxsackie_B_virus

    Coxsackie B infections usually do not cause serious disease, although for newborns in the first 1–2 weeks of life, Coxsackie B infections can easily be fatal. [2] The pancreas is a frequent target, which can cause pancreatitis. [2] Coxsackie B3 (CB3) infections are the most common enterovirus cause of myocarditis and sudden cardiac death. [8]

  4. Coxsackie B4 virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxsackie_B4_virus

    Coxsackie B4 virus and type 1 diabetes [ edit ] One theory proposes that type 1 diabetes is a virus-triggered autoimmune response in which the immune system attacks virus-infected cells along with the beta cells in the pancreas , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] but to date there is no stringent evidence to support this hypothesis in humans.

  5. Herpangina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpangina

    Herpangina, also called mouth blisters, is a painful mouth infection caused by coxsackieviruses. Usually, herpangina is produced by one particular strain of coxsackie virus A (and the term "herpangina virus" refers to coxsackievirus A), [ 1 ] but it can also be caused by coxsackievirus B or echoviruses . [ 2 ]

  6. Transmission-based precautions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission-Based_Precautions

    Transmission-based precautions are infection-control precautions in health care, in addition to the so-called "standard precautions". They are the latest routine infection prevention and control practices applied for patients who are known or suspected to be infected or colonized with infectious agents, including certain epidemiologically important pathogens, which require additional control ...

  7. Coxsackie A virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxsackie_A_virus

    Coxsackie A virus is a subgroup of enterovirus A, which are small, non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses. Its protective, icosahedral capsid has an external portion that contains sixty copies of viral proteins (VP1,-2,-3) and an internal portion surrounding the RNA genome containing sixty copies of VP4 viral proteins.

  8. Viral cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_cardiomyopathy

    Viral cardiomyopathy occurs when viral infections cause myocarditis with a resulting thickening of the myocardium and dilation of the ventricles. These viruses include Coxsackie B and adenovirus, echoviruses, influenza H1N1, Epstein–Barr virus, rubella (German measles virus), varicella (chickenpox virus), mumps, measles, parvoviruses, yellow fever, dengue fever, polio, rabies, and the ...

  9. Human echovirus 9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echovirus_9

    Echovirus 9 (also known as E-9, E.C.H.O. 9, and formerly Coxsackie A23 or A23 virus) [1] is a serotype of echovirus. When first discovered, it was labelled as a coxsackie A virus, A23. It was later discovered that A23 was an echovirus antigenically identical to the already-known echovirus 9. [2] Echovirus 9 is the most common enterovirus type. [3]
