Abstract
Previous reports of myocarditis due to Coxsackie virus infections are briefly reviewed. Four cases are described of Coxsackie virus B5 infection in children aged 4 to 19 months. These occurred during a period of prevalence of Coxsackie infection in the general population. Two of the cases had clinical evidence of acute myocarditis, one of mycocarditis with croup, and the 4th of croup alone. All the patients recovered. The 2 children with croup are believed to be the first reported cases of croup due to Coxsackie virus infection.Keywords
