Parvovirus B19 Infection Studies

This study from Frankfurt, although similar to other reports with respect to clinical findings, presents further evidence of a varied etiology for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Of the 6 patients with HFMD, 5 ahd virologic evidence of coxsackievirus B5 infection, and 1 had definite evidence of coxsackievirus B2 infection. Our data suggest an etiologic association of coxsackievirus group B with HFMD.
