title: [The morphology of coxsackie B virus infections of the nervous system].
abstract: Neuropathological studies were conducted into 20 virologically secured Coxsackie-B virus infections of infants and adults, with the nervous system being involved. Inflammatory processes affect both gray and white cerebral regions as well as the peripheral nervous system, and in adulthood they may take the form of severe necrotising encephalitis. Necroses of that kind may be recordable from various regions of the central nervous system. Notwithstanding tempestuous progress in the development of monoclonal antibody kits, culturing of Coxsackie viruses will continue to be of substantive importance to diagnosis, because of the small size of pathogens.
