The group B viruses have been implicated in a variety of disorders, ranging from epidemic pleurodynia to aseptic meningitis and pericarditis. Orchitis has been a less frequent complicationof epidemic pleurodynia. Infection with the group B viruses in the past has been associated with myocarditis during the neonatal period.1However, data are accumulating which suggest that unexplained occurrences of myocarditis and pericarditis beyond the neonatal period...Bibliography1.
