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.
Coxsackievirus group A is known for causing hand-foot-and-mouth diseases while Group B, which contains six serotypes, can cause a varying range of symptoms like gastrointestinal distress myocarditis. Coxsackievirus B4 has a cell tropism for natural killer cells and pancreatic islet cells.
Up to 71% of EV-71 infections are asymptomatic. [4] EV-71 infection can be divided into four stages. Stage 1 of EV-71 infection is uncomplicated and can manifest as HFMD or herpangina. Other types of viruses such as Coxsackievirus A4, A5, A10, B2, and B5 can also cause HFMD.
