Late summer or early fall…It’s not yet cold or flu season, but your child is sick. Consider coxsackievirus.
It’s often the culprit when parents leave a doctor’s appointment without knowing what disease their child has.
Introduction

History
1947 Coxsackievirus was first identified 1957 associated with "hand, foot and mout
h" disease and first documented 1988 epidemics occurred 1994 the largest epidemic in Britain
Most of the 952 cases were children
aged one to four

Definition
Coxsackieviruses, a family of enteroviruses. These viruses share in common that they infect the human intestines (and stool), but they can cause symptoms throughout the body.

spherical,20-30nm.

non-enveloped.
Capsid:VP1-VP4

Capsid:VP1-VP4
VP1 is associated with absorption of virus
VP4 locates in the capsid
Once VP1 bound to receptor on the target cell,then VP4 is released,+ssRNA enter the cell.
+ssRNA:infectious.

Pathogenic mechanism
CV are characterized by their ability to cause CPE in tissue culture and by their capacity to initiate acute disease by inducing apoptosis within targeted organs in vivo. So,these viruses are considered highly cytolytic.
CV can establish persistence in susceptible cells, indicating that a regulatory mechanism may exist to shut off viral protein synthesis and replication under certain situations. The persistence of coxsackieviral RNA is of particular medical interest due to its association with chronic human diseases.

Basically, the virus confuses the body's defence system. First, the body detects the presence of an enemy using its
antigen recognition system. The virus, meanwhile, may mimic the protein structure of the heart muscle, and sometimes, may even interact and alter the antigenic configuration there.
Second, the body's defence system reads the signals wrongly. It deploys killer white cells to attack the enemy. The white cells do two things. One, it fires virus-seeking missiles called antibodies to neutralise Coxsackie B and removes it. Two, the white cells also attack the wrong target: the heart. the white cells attack one of its own life support systems.

Immunity
sIgA is very important to resist absorption and replication of virus in alimentery tract.
Neutralizing Ab in serum can prevent the diffusion of virus,which can last for several years,even all the life.
Inapparant infectors also get firm immunity.

Incubation The incubation period (the time bet
ween infection and the onset of symptoms) for most coxsackie virus infections is about 2 to 10 days

symptoms
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease
mainly affecting young children Rash. Nonspecific fever, headache Herpangina. Respiratory Infection. Gastrointestinal Infection.

Duration
The duration usually varies, depending on the specific type.
Coxsackie fever often asymptoms, a child's temperature may return to normal within 24 hours, although the average fever lasts 3 to 4 days. In pleurodynia, fever and muscle pain usually last 1 to 2 days, and in herpangina, symptoms generally last 3 to 6 days.

Diagnose
Diagnosis is made based on the history and physical exam
Lab tests are available test stool or fluids from the back of the throat Serum test for specific Ab
PCR for viral nucleic acid
![Page 21: Coxsackievirus](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813971550346895da10765/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Susceptible group Most common in young people. Adults can be infected, but this is much
less common Most infections occur in the summer or
early fall, with a peak from August to October in the northern hemisphere.

Transmission Coxsackieviruses are present both in th
e stool and in the respiratory secretions
Fecal-oral transmissionDroplet transmissionContact transmission

Prevention
There is no vaccine to prevent coxsackie virus infection
Hand washing is the best prevention,especially after toileting and before eating—can help reduce their spread

Treatment Antibiotics do not help with coxsackievirus
infections Plenty of fluids is useful Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) may be gi
ven to relieve any minor aches and pains Most children with a simple coxsackie infecti
on recover completely after a few days at home.

Last year, a drug called acyclovir, an anti-viral chemical normally used to treat herpes simplex,made a surprising success in treating patients with Coxsackie A16. The study was not conclusive.
It speculated that in these patients, something else was at work: these are the interferons, which are chemical messages sent from cell to cell like warnings to uninfected cells to defend themselves. .
