Viremia in Coxsackie B Meningitis

Abstract
Coxsackie B2 virus was repeatedly isolated from a serum specimen obtained 5 days prior to onset of clinical meningitis. The virus was also demonstrated in stool specimens during the prodromal phase and in convalescence. Convalescent serum contained specific antibodies which were not present in either the virus-bearing serum or in sera collected before onset of this illness.
