Meningitis is one of the most common CNS emergencies. Aseptic meningitis is the most prevalent type of meningitis. The clinical features initially are not specific. Enteroviruses have more than 60 serotypes which are culpable for more than 85% of aseptic meningitis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive test for detection of viruses; therefore by using of this method, diagnosis ...

Chapter IV was largely written to dispel such errors of nomenclature and to obviate the misapplication of the terms aseptic and antisept...

Poliomyelitislike paralysis can be caused by neurovirulent strains of nonpolioenteroviruses. Enterovirus 71 (EV 71) has been documented as one of the potentially neurovirulent strains and a causative agent of some epidemics [1-7). The clinical manifestations associated with EV 71 infection include aseptic meningitis, hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD), acute respiratory illness, and gastrointestina...
