[Meningomyocarditis caused by Coxsackie virus B4 in perinatology. Value of anti-Coxsackie virus B IgM].
The authors report a case of meningocarditis in a neonate caused by a Coxsackie virus B4. Outcome was favorable. Diagnosis was possible by detecting Coxsackie B4 specific IgM using an ELISA test with the sera of the infant and his mother. This assay allows rapid diagnosis and prevention of maternal and neonatal enterovirus infection.
