Neonates infected with enterovirus in utero would be fulminant at birth or develop symptoms within a few days. Echovirus 11 causes life-threatening hepatic necrosis with coagulopathy and adrenal hemorrhagic necrosis. The prognosis depends on the enterovirus serotype and the absence of serotype-specific maternal antibodies at the time of delivery. We describe a fatal neonatal case of congenital echovirus 11 infection.

Background: Different serotypes of coxsackievirus B (CVB), which is the most common cause of viral myocarditis, target cardiomyocytes through Coxsackie and Adenovirus Receptor and Decay-Accelerating Factor. Both receptors are expressed in the fetal heart. We hypothesized that infection with different serotypes of CVB during early pregnancy plays a role in pathogenesis of congenital heart defect (CHD).

Gestational viral infection has been associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). Few studies, however, have studied the potential role of gestational Coxsackievirus B (CVB) exposure in the pathogenesis of CHD. We prospectively enrolled women with pregnancies affected by CHD to explore possible associations with in utero CVB exposure.

It targets cardiomyocytes through coxsackie and adenovirus receptor, which is highly expressed in the fetal heart. We hypothesized CVB3 can precipitate congenital heart defects when fetal infection occurs during critical window of gestation.

Type B coxsackieviruses (CV-B) frequently infect the central nervous system (CNS) causing neurological diseases notably meningitis and encephalitis. These infections occur principally among newborns and children. Epidemiological studies of patients with nervous system disorders demonstrate the presence of infectious virus, its components, or anti-CV-B antibodies.
