Abstrakt: Numerous examinations during 12-36 months of 16 children suffering from myocarditis and their 37 relatives revealed long-term persistence of Coxsackie A13/A18 viruses in the familial foci of infection in 13 cases. In addition, 9 families were found to have foci of Coxsackie B virus infection of which 2 were also persistent (Coxsackie B1 and B3) and 7 transitory. In 8 families, Coxsackie B viruses circulated simultaneously with Coxsackie A13/A18.
