<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Acute Transverse myelitis (ATM) is a focal inflammatory disorder of the spinal cord, resulting in motor, sensory, and autonomic nerve dysfunction. There is often a clearly defined rostral border of sensory dysfunction. Nowadays, the pathogenesis of ATM is not clear. The present study aimed to understand possible relationship between ATM and infection with Coxsackievirus B.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>IgM antibody against Coxsackievirus B was detected in cerebrospinal fluid of 33 patients with ATM.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 7 of the 33 cases with ATM, the IgM andtibody Coxsackievirus B (CVB) was positive. No infections with other pathogens were found at the onset of the disease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The pathogenesis of ATM may involve infection with Coxsackievirus B.</p>
