Enteroviruses in Patients with Acute Encephalitis, Uttar Pradesh, India
An outbreak of viral encephalitis occurred in northern India in 2006. Attempts to identify an etiologic agent in cerebrospinal fluid by using reverse transcription-PCR showed positivity to enterovirus (EV) in 66 (21.6%) of 306 patients. Sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of PCR products from 59 (89.3%) of 66 specimens showed similarity with EV-89 and EV-76 sequences.
متن کاملMolecular epidemiological study of enteroviruses associated with encephalitis in children from India.
Enteroviruses have been reported in encephalitis cases. However, clinical and epidemiological characteristics of enteroviruses in encephalitis are not fully established. We prospectively investigated 204 children with encephalitis over a period of 2 years (2009 to 2010) for enterovirus. Enterovirus was detected in 45 specimens (22.1%); of these, 40 were typed by seminested reverse transcription...

متن کاملMolecular epidemiological study of enteroviruses associated with encephalitis in children from Hangzhou, China: Erratum
Enterovirus (EV) has over 100 serotypes of species A-D, which can cause various symptoms in infants. Enterovirus encephalitis (EVE) is serve disease with high morbidity and mortality in children. To well define the epidemiology of EVE, we wanted to know more about EV and EV molecular typing by conducting this study in Hangzhou.Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from children with diagno...
متن کاملAcute Encephalitis Syndrome in India: Complexity of the Problem
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is an epidemiological term used to describe central nervous system disease due to infectious causative organism. AES is a serious condition needing critical care. High mortality rates and residual deficit in survivors also stresses the seriousness of the problem. AES occurs as a sporadic case or can be seen in the form of outbreaks. Many viral, nonviral causes ...
