Resumen La Enfermedad mano pie boca es una patología exantemática viral muy contagiosa, de predominio en la edad pediátrica. Sus agentes etiológicos más frecuentes son los virus Coxsackie y Enterovirus. Se caracteriza clínicamente por la presencia de fiebre, erosiones en mucosa bucal y exantema máculo vesicular en regiones acrales. Generalmente se autolimita, pero puede presentar complicaciones severas con compromiso neurológico, pulmonar y cardíaco. Se han observado brotes mundiales, por lo que actualmente es considerada un problema de salud pública emergente, tanto en poblaciones pediátricas como adultos. Se presentan casos de pacientes adultos inmunocompetentes con transmisión intrafamiliar de Coxsackie B, sin complicaciones severas. Estos casos muestran la importancia de la prevención para evitar brotes epidémicos, además de destacar la presentación infrecuente en adultos inmunocompetentes.

Acute myocarditis may go undetected. Nearly half of the known cases of myocarditis are caused by coxsackie B virus. Findings in myocarditis are often nonspecific. Echo cardiograms show reduced function. Some cases of myocarditis progress to cardiomyopathy.

Coxsackie B

A clinical review of 47 eases of transient synovitis of the hip joint occurring in patients less than 14 years of age is presented. Evidence from clinical, bacteriologic and serologic data is presented to show that in four patients acute streptococcal infection was associated with the development of transient synovitis. In one other patient clinical and serologic data disclosed a similar parallelism with an infection by the Coxsackie B virus. These findings suggest that these agents may be among those etiologically responsible for this syndrome. An obese or stocky physique probably predisposes a child to this disease. Patients with transient synovitis do not have any diagnostic abnormalities which can be detected by roentgenographic examination. Prevention of weight bearing by bed rest until the patient is completely asymptomatic provides the best form of therapy, and failure to follow such treatment results in prolongation of the illness. Antibiotics do not appear to influence the course of the disease. Three patients in this series developed Legg-Perthes disease within an interval of 3 to 17 months after convalescing from transient synovitis of the hip.
