Abstract

Human parechovirus is a potentially serious viral infection in neonatesand infant and its importance increasing by years. In young infants, thetypical clinical presentation includes fever, severe irritability, and rash,often leading to descriptions of “hot, red, angry babies”. We report acase of a 43-day-old girl with a fever that required hospitalization andin which human parechovirus was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid.Blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid bacterial cultures of the patientwere negative and the patient has improved.

Özet

İnsan parekovirüsü (HPeV), yeni doğanlarda ve bebeklerde potansiyelolarak ciddi bir viral enfeksiyon olup önemi her geçen yıl artmaktadır.Küçük bebeklerde tipik klinik tablo ateş, şiddetli sinirlilik ve döküntüyüiçermekte ve sıklıkla “ateşli, kızıl, kızgın bebekler” tanımlarına yol açmak tadır. Bu çalışmada “Hastaneye yatmayı gerektiren ateşi olan ve beyinomurilik sıvısında insan parekovirüsünün tespit edildiği 43 günlük birkız çocuğu” olgusunu sunuyoruz. Hastanın kan, idrar ve beyin omuriliksıvısı bakteri kültürleri negatif çıktı ve hasta iyileşti.
