Reversion to the Neurovilurent Genome Sequence of Polio Vaccine Virus Isolated from Community-Acquired Meningitis

چکیده
Neurologic complication associated with the use of live attenuated oral poliomyelitis vaccine is uncommon, but vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis in recipients or contacts has sometimes been reported. We report here a community-acquired aseptic meningitis case and the genetic investigation of the isolated poliovirus type 2. The results of the genetic analysis indicate that the mechanism of this meningitis could be the result of the reversion of the virus during replication in the other vaccine recipients, suggesting a quest for revising the current vaccination program.

Background and Aims: Rubella virus is a human pathogen that causes congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) when infection occurs during early pregnancy. Vaccination programs have been remarkably successful in controlling natural rubella infection and CRS. Moreover, ongoing surveillance for all cases of rubella and CRS is a vital component of a prevention program. Although the WHO recommends the use o...

Poliomyelitis, an acute viral infectious disease caused by poliovirus, still remains a public health problem in developing countries. Despite the global effort to eradicate polio, continuing the polio immunization with a potent and safe vaccine is essential. For accurate vaccine evaluation, three types of cell lines including Hela, Hep2C and Vero were evaluated and compared using two methods of...

Infectious bronchitis (IB) virus genome codes for four structural proteins, among which the S1 subunit of spike glycoprotein comprises the major epitopes to induce neutralizing antibodies. This study involved the comparison of the full S1 sequences of five IB viruses, namely two Massachusetts and three 793/B serotypes, isolated from IB outbreaks during 2001-2002, with all other Iranian an...
