Enterovirus infections: A review of clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment

Simultaneous detection of 13 viruses involved in meningoencephalitis using a newly developed multiplex PCR Mag-array system

“…29 The statistics from recent studies indicate that up to 57% of viral CNS infections can be attributed to human enteroviruses. 30 In the present study, only three out of 138 patients who were suspected to be HEV-positive were confirmed to be HEV-positive with the new system. The low percentage of enterovirus-positive patients might be due to the relatively small sample size.…”

Review of the etiologies of viral meningitis and encephalitis in a dengue endemic region

“…The other patient, who was diagnosed with EV, was previously a healthy man, but his children were also infected at the same time. Although EV meningitis is more common than EV encephalitis, the latter has been described in 11% of the cases [31].…”

Enterovirus-induced fulminant myocarditis and hemophagocytic syndrome

“…Most enterovirus infections cause benign, self-limiting disease; however, severe and sometimes fatal conditions such as meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, and sepsis may be observed. 7 Enterovirus-induced myocarditis has been related to severe left ventricular dysfunction and cardiogenic shock. Acute heart failure has been reported in 19% of patients with enteroviral infection with a mortality rate of 77%.…”
