Infection of Hypercholesterolemic Mice with Coxsackievirus B

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1976
Adult male mice were made hypercholesterolemic by a diet high in cholesterol, cholic acid, animal fat, and sucrose. After three months on this diet, animals were infected with 5 X 10(9) plaque-forming units of coxsackievirus B5. Control groups consisted of uninfected hypercholesterolemic mice and infected mice maintained on a standard laboratory diet ...

Coxsackievirus B4 infection of spinal sympathetic ganglion

Experientia, 1981
Coxsackievirus B4 infection of a spinal sympathetic ganglion of a squirrel monkey is described. Chromatolysis and neuronophagia were extensive. It is suggested that such viral sympathetic ganglial infections may be responsible for dysfunction of organ systems.

Autoimmunity in Coxsackievirus Infection

2008
Abstract Viral infections frequently result in the production of autoantibodies. In most cases, these autoantibodies are low-affinity IgMs that exhibit extensive cross-reactions. Sometimes these virus-triggered immune responses progress to a pathogenic autoimmunity to form autoimmune disease.

Colchicine aggravates coxsackievirus B3 infection in mice

International Journal of Cardiology, 2016
There is a clinical need for immunosuppressive therapy that can treat myocarditis patients in the presence of an active viral infection. In this study we therefore investigated the effects of colchicine, an immunosuppressive drug which has been used successfully as treatment for pericarditis patients, in a mouse model of coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)-induced

Pathophysiological aspects of coxsackievirus B intestinal infection

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1977
Our findings reveal that intestinal infection with coxsackie B5 results in decreased intestinal epithelial cell division in association with an increase in carbohydrate (glucose) and amino acid (leucine) absorption in the small intestine. These findings are contrasted with those occurring during Salmonella infection, which results in increased ...

Pediatric Group B Coxsackievirus Infections

2008
The CVB have long been recognized as significant pathogens of infants and children. Although the major route for transmission of the CVB is fecal-oral, vertical transmission from mother to infant is also possible. This review will focus on the more common or clinically relevant CVB-related syndromes, their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Fatal Coxsackievirus B4 Infection in a Neonate

Southern Medical Journal, 1985
We reported a fatal coxsackievirus B4 infection in a neonate. The CSF WBC was elevated, with polymorphonuclear leukocytes predominating initially and lymphocytes predominating later in the illness. Autopsy findings included inflammation of the heart and liver.

Persistent infection of mouse fibroblasts with coxsackievirus

Archives of Virology, 1984
Infection of fibroblast cell lines initiated from BALB/c or NFR mice with coxsackievirus B3 (CBV-3) or B4 (CBV-4) resulted in infections which persisted for a limited number of subpassages of the infected cells in most cases, but for over a year in one case.

Pathogenesis of Coxsackievirus B Infections

2014
Regarding the pathogenesis of enteroviral heart disease there has been uncertainty whether viral cytotoxicity or immune-mediated processes are crucial for organ pathology during acute and persistent heart muscle infection. This chapter provides experimental evidence for the decisive role of virus replication in the induction and maintenance of chronic ...

[Coxsackievirus B3 infection and Keshan disease].

Wei sheng yan jiu = Journal of hygiene research, 2003
To study the relationship between the infection of enteroviruses and the etiology of keshan disease, we examined the 30 blood samples from the latent-chronic KD patients from Mianning, Xider, Derchang county of Sichuan Province with LDE-PCR (long distance enterovirus-specific RT PCR), two sensitive and specific ELISAs (one for CVB1-6 IgM and the other ...
