A Preterm Neonate with Coxsackievirus Infection, Supraventricular Arrhythmia and Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
We report a preterm infant with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB 3) infection accompanied by supraventricular arrhythmia and cerebral sinus venous thrombosis. CVB 3 belongs to the Picornaviridae family and usually causes mild respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Newborns, especially preterm infants, are at higher risk of severe infection involving the cerebral and cardiovascular system.
