Isolation of parainfluenza virus type 3 from cerebrospinal fluid.
Parainfluenza virus type 3 has been isolated from the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from six individuals--four children and two adults--over a 10-year period. All had fever, and four had signs of meningitis. All recovered uneventfully, including one child undergoing chemotherapy for medulloblastoma. The clinical presentation of this child who developed parainfluenza virus type 3 meningitis is des...
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 کاملAn Outbreak of Meningitis Associated with E.c.h.o. Virus Type 9.
This paper describes an outbreak of aseptic meningitis associated with E.C.H.O virus type 9 among members of the Royal Air Force and their families stationed in western Germany in 1961. There was a total of 44 cases. Epistaxis occurred in eight cases and in 16 there was a rash. Virus was isolated from faeces in 11 of 24 cases examined and from cerebrospinal fluid in three out of six.
متن کاملAseptic meningitis in Germany associated with echovirus type 13
BACKGROUND Echoviruses are the commonest cause of aseptic meningitis. Echovirus type 13 which has not been isolated in Germany over a long period of time was the predominant enterovirus serotype associated with different local outbreaks of aseptic meningitis in Germany in 2000. METHODS Virus isolation was performed from cerebrospinal fluid and stools. In order to study the genetic relationshi...
متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially available reverse transcription-PCR assay for diagnosis of enteroviral infection in archival and prospectively collected cerebrospinal fluid specimens.
A commercially available reverse transcription (RT)-PCR method (AMPLICOR EV; Roche Diagnostic Systems, Inc., Branchburg, N.J.) was evaluated for detection of enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with neurological disease. This assay was compared with virus isolation in cell culture and an in-house RT-PCR method designed with a nonoverlapping region of the enteroviral genome. A pan...
