The Association of Non-polio Enteroviruses with Aseptic Meningitis in Children in Iran
Introduction : Viral meningitis is an inflammation of the leptomeninges as a manifestation of central nervous system (CNS) infection, and more than 85% of viral meningitis cases are caused by non-polio enteroviruses. Molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are increasingly used to detect and type non-polio enteroviruses. Here, we describe the impact of these viruses on asept...

متن کاملThe Association of Non-polio Enteroviruses with Aseptic Meningitis in Children in Iran
Viral aseptic meningitis syndrome is an acute meningeal inflammation with symptoms, such as fever and pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid, and enteroviruses are the main causative agents of this disease [1]. Enteroviral meningitis is commonly considered as a subclinical disease, but its clinical characteristics and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings are similar to those of bacterial or herpe...
متن کاملHuman enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid of children with suspected aseptic meningitis: A study in northern Iran
Background: Enterovirus (EV) infections are one of the most common causes of aseptic meningitis in pediatrics. To diagnose EV meningitis, virus isolation in cell cultures is often time consuming and lacks sensitivity to be of clinical relevance. This makes the virus culture results difficult to interpret. The rapid detection of EVs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by molecular diagnostic techniques...
متن کاملPrevalence and Predictors of Urinary Tract Infections among Children with Cerebral Palsy in Makurdi, Nigeria
Background. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are prone to urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods/Objectives. The prevalence and the predictors of UTI among children with CP were compared to age- and sex-matched children without CP at Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, Nigeria, from December 2011 to May 2013. Results. The age range was between 2 and 15 years with a mean age of 8.63 ± 3.83 years i...
