Coxsackie B4 virus.

Coxsackie B (also written coxsackievirus B) is a group of six types of enterovirus belonging to the Picornaviridae family. They cause symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal distress to aseptic meningitis, pericarditis and myocarditis. Like other enteroviruses, Coxsackie B viruses have a tropism for muscle cells and have been linked to myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia,[1] as well as Type 1 Diabetes.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Symptoms of infection with viruses in the Coxsackie B grouping include fever, headache, sore throat, gastrointestinal distress, extreme fatigue as well as chest and muscle pain. It can also lead to spasms in arms and legs.

Types[edit | edit source]

Coxsackie B1[edit | edit source]

Coxsackievirus B1 has been associated with β-cell autoimmunity leading to Type 1 diabetes, as well as neonatal myocarditis.[2][3] CVB1 has also been linked to outbreaks of aseptic meningitis and pleurodynia.[4]

Coxsackie B2[edit | edit source]

Coxsackievirus B2 has been associated with aseptic meningitis, myocarditis, and neonatal systemic illness.[4]

Coxsackie B3[edit | edit source]

Coxsackie B3 is found in 20-25% of patients with cardiomyopathy and myocarditis.[5][6][7][5] CVB3 has also been associated with aseptic meningitis, neonatal systemic illness, meningoencephalitis in immunodeficient persons, herpangina, and rash illnesses.[4]

Coxsackie B4[edit | edit source]

Coxsackievirus B4 has a cell tropism for natural killer cells and pancreatic islet cells.[8] Associated illnesses include aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, myopericarditis, neonatal infections, febrile rash illnesses, and respiratory manifestations.[4] It has been shown that CVB4 has a higher fatality rate than other enterovirus serotypes.[4]

Coxsackie B5[edit | edit source]

Coxsackievirus B5 is associated with myopericarditis and neonatal systemic illness (encephalomyocarditis syndrome), aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and acute flaccid paralysis. In a study of CVB5 reports from 1970 to 2005, approximately half of all coxsackievirus B5 detections come from young infants.[4]

Coxcackie B6[edit | edit source]

Immune system[edit | edit source]

In a mouse model of myocarditis, Coxsackievirus infection was found to upregulate Toll-like receptor 4 on mast cells and macrophages immediately following infection. It also increased numbers of mast cells.[9]

The induction of interferon signaling and the induction of apoptosis are required for normal control of a Coxsackie B3 infection. Coxsackievirus B3 cleaves Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling (MAVS) protein and Toll/IL-1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-beta TRIF to inhibit type I interferon induction and evade host immunity.[10] Conversely, upregulation of MAVS inhibits Coxsackie B3 by increasing type-1 interferon production.[11]

Mitochondria[edit | edit source]

Coxsackievirus B3 cleaves Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling (MAVS) protein to inhibit type I interferon induction.[10] Conversely, upregulation of MAVS inhibits coxsackie B3 by increasing type-1 interfrenctial.

Exercise[edit | edit source]

Several studies of a mouse model of Coxsackie B3 myocarditis have found that exercise increases the virulence of the infection and results in poorer outcomes.[12][13][14][15][16] These studies compare two groups of mice, both infected with CVB3, one that is exercised and the other, sedentary. They found:

  • Exercised mice died of congestive heart failure (the majority while swimming) and had 530X the amount of virus.[15]
  • Exercised mice had increased viral titers, mortality and fiber necrosis.[13]
  • Exercised mice had higher viremia and virus in the hearts and no circulating interferon; non-exercised mice had detectable interferon activity, higher levels of neutralizing antibodies[16]
  • Exercised mice died at much higher rates (52% v. 0 sedentary mice), but not if they were immunosuppressed.[12]
  • Increased T cytotoxic, T suppressor, and T cytotoxic, suppressor/T helper cell ratio, and myocardial inflammatory and necrotic lesions with exercise at 48 hours after infection. "Failure to restrict physical activity in the acute phase of this infection may well contribute to the progression of the disease."[14]

Chronic infection[edit | edit source]

Main article: Non-cytolytic enterovirus

Coxsackievirus B is able to establish a chronic intracellular non-cytolytic infection which can persist for years. Non-cytolytic enterovirus infection does not involve the destruction of infected cells. Non-cytolytic infection is difficult to measure in the serum as viral particles remain in the cell membranes of tissues.

The molecular mechanisms of non-cytolytic infection were examined in a small study comparing Coxsackie B2 virus cultured in vitro to RNA extracted via muscle biopsy from eight patients with a chronic fatigue syndrome diagnosis. All patients had symptoms of muscle fatiguability. Four of these samples tested positive for enteroviral RNA. In all four patients with enteroviral-specific RNA, the enteroviral RNA had equal amounts of positive sense and negative sense RNA. By contrast, CVB2 virus in culture produced positive sense RNA at a ratio of 100:1. An equal ratio of positive to negative sense RNA would inhibit the translation of virus-specific gene products, explaining the failure to attract a response from the host immune system, and might account for how CVB2 could establish a persistent infection in these four patients.[17]

Models of persistent infection of the heart[18] and brain[19] have also been studied in mice and in thyroid carcinoma.

In human disease[edit | edit source]

Viruses in the Coxsackie B family progress to myocarditis or pericarditis, which can result in permanent heart damage or death. Coxsackie B virus infection may also cause aseptic meningitis.[20] As a group, they are the most common cause of unexpected sudden death, and may account for up to 50% of such cases.[citation needed]

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis[edit | edit source]

Some researchers and clinicians postulate that ME is caused by an enteroviral infection. Several studies have found patients with ME to have persistently elevated levels of Coxsackie B IgM or IgG antibodies, circulating immune complexes containing viral antigen, or presence of enterovirus by PCR or culture, all indicating the possible presence of a persistent infection.[21][22] Others studies failed to find a difference in rates of positivity between patients and controls. Differences in study outcomes may be due to the criteria used to define study cohorts as well as the techniques used.

Blood testing[edit | edit source]

Elevated Coxsackie B antibodies have been found in patients in at least two ME outbreaks.[23][24] In a retrospective cohort study[25] by Melvin Ramsay and Elizabeth Dowsett, 31% of the patients were found to have elevated enteroviral IgM antibody levels. Sixteen of these patients were retested annually over three years and all showed persistently elevated Coxsackie B neutralizing antibody levels and intermittently positive enteroviral IgM, suggesting a persistent infection was present.

Similarly, a study of of 76 patients with postviral fatigue syndrome (PVFS) found that 76% had detectible IgM responses to enteroviruses. 22% had positive cultures (compared to 7% controls) and VP1 antigen was detected in 51%, all pointing to a chronic infection in many post-viral patients.[26] However, a larger study in Scotland of 243 PVFS patients and matched controls found no difference in IgM and IgG positivity between patients and controls.[27]

PCR[edit | edit source]

In a study of serum samples from 100 CFS patients and 100 healthy controls, 42% of patients were positive for Coxsackie B sequences by PCR, compared to only 9% of the comparison group.[28]

Also using PCR, a study of 236 patients by John Chia found enteroviral RNA in 48% of patients as compared to 8% of controls.To date, Chia reports finding enteroviral RNA in 35% of 518 patients.[22]

Muscle biopsy[edit | edit source]

Several muscle biopsy studies have also found the presence of Coxsackie B RNA sequences in CFS patients as compared to controls. A study of 60 post-viral fatigue syndrome patients found 53% had enteroviral RNA in muscle compared to 15% of controls.[29] However, a follow-up study comparing CFS patients to patients with other neuromuscular disorders failed to find a statistically significant difference.[30]

Fibromyalgia[edit | edit source]

Type 1 diabetes[edit | edit source]

Several studies have suggested a relationship between Coxsackie B4 and the onset of Type 1 diabetes.[31][32][33]

A study of patients with Type 1 Diabetes found that Coxsackie B4 was found to infect the β cells in the pancreatic islets of the pancreas and cause inflammation mediated by natural killer cells.[34]

Testing[edit | edit source]

In the United States, ARUP Laboratories offers a serum microneutralization assay that is designed to measure the concentration of serum antibodies to six serotypes of the virus; B1 through B6. This specific assay has been shown to be sensitive for detection of chronic infections in ME patients. A persistent fourfold or greater rise in antibody titer is often found in these patients, which is not often found in healthy controls.

A complement fixation assay for Coxsackie B serotypes is available in the United States from LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics, however this specific type of assay has not been found to be sensitive for the chronic infections found in ME patients.

Antivirals and immunomodulators for coxsackievirus B [edit | edit source]

Interferon[edit | edit source]

Treatment of enterovirus-associated ME/CFS with a course of Interferon (or interferon plus the antiviral Ribavirin) over a few months results in dramatic improvements, allowing many severe bedbound ME/CFS patients being able to return to work. However, these improvements achieved with interferon typically only last for a short period of a few months to a year, after which relapse usually occurs.[35] Repeated treatment with interferon is usually not feasible, as patients typically eventually develop antibodies against recombinant interferon, which disables this drug. Thus interferon clearly demonstrates that inhibiting the enteroviruses associated with ME/CFS results in large improvements in symptoms; but interferon type 1 and 2 is not effective as a cure or long-term treatment of ME/CFS.

Dr John Chia finds interferon type 1 and 2 works for ME/CFS associated with coxsackievirus B3 and B5, but is not effective against coxsackievirus B4.[36]

Oxymatrine[edit | edit source]

The mainstay of Dr Chia's treatment of enterovirus-associated ME/CFS is the immunomodulator oxymatrine, which Chia found in an informal study leads to 30% of ME/CFS patients making a major improvement, and another 20% will make more minor improvements. Dr Chia often adds the immunomodulator inosine to oxymatrine. He also uses the antiviral Epivir (lamivudine) to treat enterovirus ME/CFS.[37]

Ampligen[edit | edit source]

The immunomodulatory drug Ampligen (rintatolimod) is a treatment that has proven effective for ME/CFS in clinical trials, and in mouse models, Ampligen was found to be protective of coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis.[38]

Pleconaril[edit | edit source]

One ME/CFS patient with coxsackievirus B4 experienced moderate improvement on the antiviral drug Pleconaril for one month, along with a fourfold decrease of antibody titers for CVB4 and echoviruses 7 and 11. However on discontinuation of the drug the patient relapsed about one month later, and did not respond to a further month of treatment. Pleconaril is no longer available for investigational use.[22]

Rega Compound[edit | edit source]

Two potent new antiviral drugs for coxsackievirus B code named Rega Compound A and Rega Compound 17 are expected to become available in around 2021. These two drugs were originally developed by the Rega Institute in Belgium (info here). Dr Chia believes these drugs may be effective treatments for enterovirus-associated ME/CFS.

Supplements[edit | edit source]

Selenium deficiency increases the virulence of coxsackievirus B3 infections in a mouse model.[39] Drugs and supplements which may have some mild in vivo antiviral effects (at least in murine studies) against coxsackievirus B include:

sophoridine (Sophora root extract),[40] Arbidol (umifenovir),[41][42] astragaloside IV (from Astragalus membranous),[43] cinnamic acid (a metabolite of cinnamon spice),[44] emodin (from Rheum palmatum),[45] dihydroquercetin (DHQ),[46] arsenic trioxide,[47] Spatholobus suberectus (Ji Xue Teng),[48] salidroside (from Rhodiola rosea),[49] and quercetin.[50]

Drugs and supplements which have in vitro antiviral effects against coxsackievirus B are listed here (but typically in vitro antiviral activity does not translate to in vivo efficacy when the compound is taken orally, so these compounds are likely to have no therapeutic effect, but may be of interest as lead compounds in the development of new antiviral drugs).

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) has been proven to effectively treat Coxsackivirus B3 in vivo.[51]

Factors which worsen coxsackievirus B infection[edit | edit source]

exercise has been shown to be a risk factor that often worsens coxsackievirus B infection.[13][14][15][16]
