What is the most common association with coxsackie viruses?
most common non-bacterial CNS infection in North America

Name the diseases caused by HSV-2. (2)
herpes genitalis, neonatal herpes
43
Name two complications of mumps.

List four symptoms of mononucleosis.
fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy (esp posterior auricular nodes)
