title: [The role of Coxsackie B viruses in the etiology of dilated cardiomyopathy].
abstract: A study was made of seroconversion in respect of Coxsackie B 1-6 viruses in 33 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and in 25 normal persons. A considerable increase of the rate of demonstration and titres of type-specific neutralizing antibodies was revealed in the patients examined. This circumstance suggests the etiologic relationship between DCMP and Coxsackie B viral infection.
