Is coxsackie virus considered an autoimmune disease?

No: Coxsackie virus infections cause some cold symptoms, small throat ulcers, rashes on the hands and feet, some fever, tummy upset, etc... It is not considered an autoimmune disease.

No: It is simply a virus that many of us are exposed to. Due to antibody production, there can occasionally be the development of an autoimmune disease but it is difficult to say if it was caused by coxsackie virus or simply set into motion by coxsackie virus.
