Twenty-four are classed in group A and six in group B by characteristic pathology produced by infection of the suckling mouse (2, 3). Since then the group A viruses have been found to cause herpangina and central nervous system disease of varied clinical manifestations (3, 4). The group B viruses have generally been recognized to produce epidemics of aseptic meningitis and pleurodynia and to cause encephalomyocarditis in infants. The group B Coxsackie viruses have also been implicated in a number of other clinical...References1.
