title: [Determination of antibody levels against coxsackie B virus type 2 and type 3 in sera from blood donors using the microneutralization test].
abstract: The presence of antibodies and their titers against Coxsackie B virus type 2 and type 3 (CBV-2 and CBV-3) have been investigated in 208 blood donor's sera obtained from blood Bank of Gülhane Military Medical Academy. The seropositivity against Coxsackie B virus type 2 and type 3 have been determined 59.1% (123/208) and 7.2% (15/208) respectively. These findings suggest that Coxsackie B virus type 2 infections may be present more widely than Coxsackie B virus type 3 infections in our country.
