Outbreak of life-threatening coxsackievirus B1 myocarditis in neonates.

30 Aug 2009 In the summer and fall of 2007, we observed a unique cluster of cases of severe coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1) infection among Chicago area neonates. Eight neonates had closely related strains of CVB1 that were typed at the Centers of Disease Control and ... Read more...

Increased activity of Coxsackievirus B1 strains associated with severe disease among young infants in the United States, 2007-2008.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Enterovirus infections are very common and typically cause mild illness, although neonates are at higher risk for severe illness. In 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received multiple reports of severe neonatal ... Read more...

The dual role of the cystathionine gamma-lyase/hydrogen sulfide pathway in CVB3-induced myocarditis in mice.

16 Aug 2009 The present study found that serum H2S level, H2S production rate, CSE mRNA and CSE protein levels were increased in CVB3-induced myocarditis. dl-proparglygylcine (PAG), an irreversible CSE inhibitor, decreased the infected myocardium titers on ... Read more...
