		Coxsackievirus is classified as a human enterovirus that occurs naturally among human populations.
		He said this is only the second time for the family of 64 enteroviruses that scientists were able to identify a region of the viral RNA that controls its ability to cause disease.
		The team’s quest is to understand why some strains of the coxsackievirus B are harmful while others are not.

		The most common cause is coxsackievirus A16; sometimes, HFMD is caused by enterovirus 71 or other enteroviruses.
		HFMD caused by coxsackievirus A16 infection is a mild disease and nearly all patients recover without medical treatment in 7 to 10 days.
		Rarely, the patient with coxsackievirus A16 infection may also develop "aseptic" or viral meningitis, in which the person has fever, headache, stiff neck, or back pain, and may need to be hospitalized for a few days.

	Coxsackievirus - DrGreene.com
		Coxsackievirus infections are most common in young children but are seen with some frequency up until puberty.
		Once people have had a specific strain of coxsackievirus, they are generally immune, but they could become sick with one of the other strains.
		The most well known of the coxsackievirus infections is hand-foot-mouth disease—usually caused by coxsackievirus A16.

		A coxsackievirus is any of a group of viruses that cause a variety of infectious diseases, including a mild form of meningitis and hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
		Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) and inflammation of the membranous sac that encloses the heart (pericarditis) may also be caused by a coxsackievirus.
		Coxsackievirus infections are diagnosed by isolating the virus from the throat or stool specimens.

	Coxsackievirus Infections
		When an outbreak affects a community, risk for coxsackievirus infection is highest among infants and children younger than 5.
		People who are infected with a coxsackievirus are most contagious the first week they're sick.
		Kids who are sick with a coxsackievirus infection should be kept out of school or child care for a few days to avoid spreading the infection.

		Large nucleated cells were reactive to Coxsackievirus B3 but, as in the myocardial tissue, were not reactive to B1, B4 or B6 serotypes.
		A child can have a Coxsackievirus B3 infection or a common coxsackievirus infection, but for this type of superantigen-driven disease to develop, the child must also be genetically susceptible, according to Trucco.
		Enteroviruses such as Coxsackievirus B may be responsible for about half of the cases of myocarditis in North America, according to previous studies.

		In addition, it is known that all six serotypes of coxsackie B viruses can be made diabetogenic by repeated passages in either mouse pancreas in vivo or in cultured mouse beta-cells in vitro.
		In the present study, a laboratory strain of coxsackievirus B5 was passaged repeatedly in mouse pancreas in vivo.
		After 15 passages, the virus phenotype was clearly changed and infection of the variant resulted in a diabetes-like syndrome in mice characterized by chronic pancreatic inflammation together with dysregulation in glucose metabolism, loss of pancreatic acinar tissue, and mild insulitis.

	How viruses hold cells
		The study reveals that the receptor protein for coxsackievirus (known as coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor, or CAR) forms pairs on the surface of human cells, with two adjacent CAR receptors attached to one another below the surface of the cell membrane.
		When coxsackievirus binds to the human cell, it forms bonds with both receptors of the pair.
		The portion of the receptor shown in red normally lies outside the human cell membrane, and is the portion to which the virus attaches.

		Interestingly, we found that membrane cholesterol levels were unchanged during transfection, indicating that disruption rather than depletion of membrane cholesterol contributes to the inhibitory effects of transfection."
