Clinical and laboratory characteristics of enteroviral meningitis in children, including qRT-PCR and sequencing analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Enteroviruses play the most important role in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningitis. Short symptom duration, slightly higher inflammatory parameters in blood, predominance of polynuclears, and elevated CSF lactate have predictive value in diagnosing this disease. ECV 30 (frequently the agent of epidemics in the Czech Republic) was the aseptic meningitis agent most often seen. PMID: 30631207 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
