During June and July 1977 5 junior boys in a boarding school for 800 pupils became ill with a mild infection caused by Coxsackie B1. The school had been taking part in a vaccine trial, and paired blood samples had been taken from new entrants in October 1976 and October 1977. 18% of the boys susceptible to the infection developed antibodies. The results suggest that dormitories are more important than the day-to-day contacts in the spread of infection. The advisability of nursing children with known or suspected enterovirus infections in open wards in hospital is questioned.
1977年6月至7月期间，一所拥有800名学生的寄宿学校里，5名初中男生感染了柯萨奇B1病毒，引发了轻度感染。该学校当时正在参与一项疫苗试验，于1976年10月和1977年10月从新入学的学生中采集了配对血样。18%易感染该病毒的男生产生了抗体。结果表明，在感染传播方面，宿舍比日常接触更为重要。文中对在医院开放式病房护理已知或疑似感染肠道病毒的儿童是否明智提出了质疑。
