Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM antibody and myocardial infarction.
The ELISA technique was shown to be group-specific for the detection of IgM antibodies against coxsackie B viruses, and probably against a wider range of enteroviruses. No evidence was obtained that recent coxsackie B-virus infection predisposes to myocardial infarction.
