| lack of causal association between coxsackie b4 virus infection and diabetes. | an epidemic of coxsackie b4 virus infection in an isolated group of islands in the bering sea in 1967 provided an opportunity to test the suggestion that infection with this virus might be associated with an increased incidence of diabetes. in 1973 islanders were tested by glucose-tolerance tests and their two-hour plasma glucose levels were analysed in the light of serological evidence of cb4 infection five years earlier. there was no evidence of any increased prevalence of diabetes in those wh ... | 1975 | 49517 |
| survival of enteric viruses under natural conditions in a subarctic river. | the survival of enteric viruses was studied in the vicinity of fairbanks, alaska at selected stations along a 317-km section of the tanana river. this section was located downstream from all known domestic wastewater sources and was effectively sealed by a total ice cover. the mean flow time through the region was 7.1 days, during which initial viral population showed a relative survival rate of 34%. the tracing of native viruses at such great distances in the complete absence of other point and ... | 1979 | 230786 |
| increased detections and severe neonatal disease associated with coxsackievirus b1 infection--united states, 2007. | enteroviruses generally cause mild disease; however, neonates are at higher risk for severe illness because of the immaturity of their immune systems. neonatal systemic enterovirus disease, characterized by multiorgan involvement, is among the most serious, potentially fatal conditions associated with enterovirus infection. typical clinical presentations include encephalomyocarditis (characteristic of group b coxsackieviruses) and hemorrhage-hepatitis syndrome (typical of echovirus 11). to descr ... | 2008 | 18496504 |
| association of regulatory issues with an echovirus 18 meningitis outbreak at a children's summer camp in alaska. | we document an echovirus 18 meningitis outbreak occurring at a remote overnight children's camp in alaska. the outbreak involved 26% of 113 camp residents, was associated with building overcrowding and occurred in a camp with a contaminated drinking water source. lack of specific children's camp regulations and failure to implement and enforce existing regulations may have contributed to the outbreak. | 2004 | 15361731 |
