An outbreak of aseptic meningitis in the area of Fort Smith, Arkansas, 1975, due to echovirus type 4.

Echovirus type 4 outbreak in Northern Ireland during 1970-71.

AN extensive outbreak of Echovirus type 4 took place during 1970-71 in Northern Ireland. Echovirus type 4 is not only a rare virus to isolate from patients but this was also the third major enterovirus outbreak in Northern Ireland during the past four years. The olther outbreaks were associated with Echovirus type 6 during 196;8 (Connolly and O'Neill, 1970) and Coxsackie A9 virus during 1970 (C...

Since June 2010, incidence of aseptic meningitis has increased in Novi Sad, Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. From 2 June to 25 July 2010, 80 cases of aseptic meningitis were notified, with an incidence rate ranging from 10 to 366 per 100,000 population in different local communities.

Nosocomial transmission of echovirus 30: molecular evidence by phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 encoding sequence.

We investigated six cases of enterovirus infection in a neonatal unit. The index patient, a 5-day-old boy, was admitted with aseptic meningitis due to echovirus 30 (E30). Secondary infections with E30 occurred in five babies. Comparison of the complete VP1 sequences showed that the isolates recovered from the index patient and his mother were closely related to those recovered from the five bab...
