Survival Following Myocarditis and Myocardial Calcification Associated with Infection by Coxsackie Virus B-4

[摘要] A Coxsackie virus B-4 was isolated from a neonate with clinical sepsis and clinical evidence of myocardial dysfunction. Radiographs demonstrated the presence and subsequent resolution of myocardial calcification. Electrocardiograms showed a left bundle branch block, presumably caused by calcification in the corresponding segment of the bundle of His. This case demonstrates an unusual complication of neonatal Coxsackie virus B infection.
