J Clin Microbiol. 2013 Sep;51(9):3083-6. doi: 10.1128/JCM.00270-13. Epub 2013 Jun 26.

Abstract

Recombination events were found in two human coxsackievirus B3 strains, Beijing0811 and SD2012CHN. The strains were isolated separately from five newborns diagnosed with severe hospital-acquired acute myocarditis in Beijing in 2008 and from two children diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease with concurrent acute myocarditis in Shandong in 2012.
