Abstract

In the summer months of 1999, 106 children were followed up with the diagnosis of aseptic meningitis, and it was aimed at determining the possible enteroviral agent. Mean (± SD) age of the patients was 7.5 ± 3.3 years. A great majority of them was admitted to the hospital in August and July (42 and 41 cases, respectively). Vomiting (96.2%), fever (92.4%) and headache (84.9%) were the main complaints of the patients. The duration of hospitalization was 4+1.6 days, and all of the patients recovered completely. Virus isolation studies in the faecal specimens and/or serologic studies for enteroviruses were done in 42 of the patients. Echovirus 30 was the most frequently isolated agent in faecal specimens (42.8%).

Özet

Yüzaltı çocuk olgu 1999 yaz aylarında aseptik meninjit tanısı ile izlenmiş olup olası enteroviral etkenin araştırılması amaçlandı. Olguların ortalama (± S D) yaşı 7.5 ± 3.3 yıl idi. Olguların büyük çoğunluğu Ağustos ve Temmuz aylarında (sırasıyla 42 ve 41 olgu) hastaneye yatırıldı. En sık yakınmaları kusma (%96.2), ateş (%92.4) ve başağrısı (%84.9) idi. Hastanede yatış süresi 4 ± 1.6 gün idi ve hastaların tümü tamamen iyileşti. Olguların 42'sinde enteroviruslar için dışkıda virüs izolasyon ve/veya serumda serolojik çalışma yapıldı. Echovirus 30 dışkı örneklerinde en sık izole edilen etken idi (%42.8).
