Overview

Up to 90% of epidemics occur in the summer and early fall. The illness most commonly strikes people younger than age 30, although older people also may be affected.

Epidemiology and Demographics

According to the CDC, strains of the Coxsackie B4 virus were responsible for 1.9% of all enterovirus infections combined, which was equivalent to at least 54 cases in the United States alone. Bornholm disease is seemingly responsible for 20%-40% of all non-cardiac chest pain.[1] Severeal prominent outbreaks have occurred, which include:

  • 1974: Singapore (patients were further studied in groups of "typical Bornholm disease" and "atypical Bornholm disease; the typical group included those with positive Coxsackie B3 virus)[2]
  • 1958-1959: Toronto (strains of Coxsackie B5 virus isolated)[3][4]

Southeast Asia has reported fewer cases of Bornholm disease comparatively but a retrospective study performed at the National Taiwan University Hospital in 2005 yielded informative material. This included statistics such as:[5]

Various paediatric studies done at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital spanning from 2004-2012 found that of a total of 386 cases studied, 158 were due to the Coxsackie A4 virus, 145 were attributable to the Coxsackie B3 virus and only 83 were found to have been due to the Coxsackie B4 virus. [6]
