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.

Pathophysiology

Group B coxsackieviruses are transmitted from person to person by fecal-oral contamination or direct mouth to mouth contact. Other people become infected with the virus if they touch contaminated items then put their fingers in their mouth before washing them properly. Contaminated items can include soiled diapers, shared toys and toilets. Epidemic pleurodynia is contagious and occurs in clusters, meaning many people in an area get it around the same time.

The virus that causes devils grip is picornavirus. It is spread by contact and epidemics usually occur during warm weather in temperate regions and at any time in the tropics. It can also be spread through saliva and feces.[1]
