Epidemiological pattern in the infancy of coxsackie viruses has been analysed by the illustration of 34 isolations (9.7%) from the 352 fecal specimens obtained from the four grouped population in Okayama Prefecture during 1954-55. The survey on the seasonal influences of the isolation curve revealed the striking decrease in winter (October-March), presumably with complete negative reading. Prevalency was given to the group of child under age 5. The marked difference of the incidence of virus isolation between the child in the individual family 11 isolations (4.3%) and the child in the nurseries 23 isolations (23.5%) would seem to warn the possible group infections frequently associated with the feverish episodes. The problem of asymptomatic carrier again enhanced their epidemiological significance.
