1. An outbreak of epidemic myalgia prevailed among the employees in a company in Kawasaki in the summer of 1952. Many of the patients developed the clinical symptoms typical for epidemic myalgia but the remainders showed only fever and other uncharacterized symptoms.2. Precise clinical descriptions were made of some of the cases. They were almost typical for the usual epidemic myalgia.3. A strain of B group Coxsackie virus was isolated from a patient among them. This strain was serologically proved to belong to Bl of the classification by Dalldorf.4. It is very probable that this outbreak was caused by this type of Coxsackie virus.
