Hypoglycorrhachia and coxsackie B3 meningoencephalitis. 1978

P J Chesney, and P Quennec, and C Clark

The case of a 3-week-old infant with Coxsackie B3 meningoencephalitis is discussed. Hypoglycorrhachia and neutrophils in the cerebrospinal fluid characterized the first ten days of her illness. Coxsackie B3 should be added to the list of enteroviruses that can cause hypoglycorrhachia during infections of the central nervous system in children.
