title: [Characteristics of Coxsackie A enteroviruses circulating in children in Azerbaijan].
abstract: Spectrum of serotypes of Coxsackie A virus and several others markers of virions, which cause enterovirus infection in children in Azerbaijan, was determined. Symptom of myotropism was used as a clinical sign. It was shown that enteroviruses were most frequently detected (41.1%) in children aged registered as enterovirus monoinfection. All isolated strains were characterized by such markers as cytopathic effect, delayed formation of plaques under the layer of agar with low content of sodium bicarbonate. Both attenuated and avirulent virions of Coxsackie A enteroviruses were detected.
