Aseptic meningitis in infants < 2 years of age: diagnosis and etiology.
Journal of Infectious Diseases 1993 October
Standard virologic methods were used to characterize the relative contribution of each of the enterovirus classes to the etiology of aseptic meningitis during a prospective study of this disease among children < 24 months old. Viruses were isolated in cell culture from 164 (60%) of 274 cases identified over 5 years and in newborn mice from only 2 of 104 remaining cell culture-negative cases. Serologic tests identified the viral pathogen in 3 additional cases. The group B coxsackieviruses and the echoviruses were implicated in 156 (92%) of the 169 laboratory-diagnosed cases. Forty-eight percent of all diagnosed cases were due to group B coxsackievirus serotypes 2, 4, and 5; 78% of all cases were attributable to only 8 of the 67 known enterovirus serotypes. Polioviruses were the only viruses isolated from 7 children, including a cerebrospinal fluid isolate from 1 child and a urine isolate from another. Disease was attributable to the group A coxsackie-viruses for only 3 cases.
