Overview

Bornholm disease usually is caused by one of the group B coxsackie viruses and is less often caused by a group A coxsackie virus or an echovirus.

Causes

Bornholm disease is often due to either the Coxsackie virus or echovirus. The most prevalent strains include:

• Coxsackievirus B (CBV) and less coxsackievirus A (CAV) types 4, 6, 9 and 10
• Echovirus types 1, 6, 8, 9 and 19
