Coxsackievirus B4 nephritis in the squirrel monkey
Abstract:
Seventeen squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) were experimentally infected with Coxsackievirus B4, and the kidneys, as well as other organs, were studied for pathological changes induced by the virus. Seven (41%) of these monkeys developed renal lesions--interstitial and glomerular. The Coxsackievirus was identified in 4 of these 7 monkeys (by isolation from the renal tissue in 2, by immunofluorescence staining of viral antigen in 1, and by electron microscopic finding of viral particles in 1). The renal lesions produced by Coxsackieviral infection described in this report resemble those seen in renal disease in man. These findings support the concept that viruses can produce glomerular and interstitial renal disease. This report also describes a good animal model for the study of viral disease of the kidney.
