“…This indicates that the mechanism of this meningitis could have resulted from the reversion of the virus during replication in the other vaccine recipients [6][7][8][9]. Ozawa et al [10] reported acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) associated with polio vaccine due to neurovilurent mutations of the virus. The several nucleotide changes observed in this strain and our strain could be the candidates for the research of the genetic basis of the poliovirus virulence.…”

“…Enteroviral associated ADEM has been reported by Ozawa et al [7] who described a case with a positive CSF culture for a mutated variant of the poliovirus serotype 2 vaccine strain and David et al [8] who reported a case associated with Coxsackie's B infection, while transverse myelitis has also been associated with Enterovirus 71 infection [9]. Clinical presentation of our case with presence of Enterovirus genome in CSF was initially highly suggestive of infective meningoencephalitis and a treatment with antibiotics and antivirals was started.…”
