Abstract
A 19-month-old boy with agammaglobulinaemia contracted a Coxsackie B3 virus infection which caused meningoencephalitis. His neurological status deteriorated over the following 4 years and he died aged 6 years. Treatment with gammaglobulin i.m. and IgG-Fab2 fragments i.v. was not effective. Enterovirus can cause life-threatening infections in immunodeficient patients.Entities:
