[Pathophysiological background of transient hyperphosphatasemia].

We studied the relationship between 23 cases with transient hyperphosphatasemia (TH) and viral infection. Many of the patients appeared to be suffering from viral infection. Measurement of antibody in the titer revealed increases in antibody to Echo 22, Entero 71 and Coxsackie B5 in 20.0%, 11.1% and 11.1% of patients, respectively.
