Abstract excerpt
The group B coxsackieviruses (CVB) induce experimental pancreatitis and myocarditis in mice and are established agents of human myocarditis, especially in children. We tested the hypothesis that the development of CVB-induced myocarditis is linked to CVB-induced pancreatitis by studying the replication of different CVB strains in mice. Eight of nine genotypically different type 3 CVB (CVB3) strains induced acute...
