analysis of an echovirus 18 outbreak in thuringia, germany: insights into the molecular epidemiology and evolution of several enterovirus species b members.in october and november 2010, six children and one woman were presented with symptoms of aseptic meningitis in jena, thuringia, germany. enterovirus rna was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of all patients by rt-pcr, and preliminary molecular typing revealed echovirus 18 (e-18) as causative agent. virus isolates were obtained from stool samples of three patients and several contact persons. again, most isolates were typed as e-18. in addition, coxsackievirus b5 (cv-b5) and echovirus 25 (e-25) ...201627369854
serological misdiagnosis of acute liver failure associated with echovirus 25 due to immunological similarities to hepatitis a virus and prozone effect.we describe a case of acute liver failure caused by echovirus 25 (e25) in a previously healthy 2-year-old boy. initial serological studies were consistent with hepatitis a virus (hav), with prozone phenomenon. the similarity of e25 to hav may obscure accurate diagnosis in some cases of hepatitis.201525355762
construction and characterization of an infectious cdna clone of echovirus 25.echovirus 25 (e-25) is a member of the enterovirus family and a common pathogen that induces hand, foot, and mouth disease (hfmd), meningitis, skin rash, and respiratory illnesses. in this study, we constructed and characterized an infectious full-length e-25 cdna clone derived from the xm0297 strain, which was the first subgenotype d6 strain isolated in xiamen, china. the 5'-untranslated regions (5'-utr), p3 (3a-3b, 3d) and p3 (3c) regions of this e-25 (xm0297) strain were highly similar to ev- ...201526004198
complete genome sequence of a new recombinant echovirus 25 strain isolated from a neonatal patient with hand, foot, and mouth disease complicated by encephalitis in beijing, china.although human echovirus 25 (e-25), a type of the enterovirus b species, is implicated in aseptic meningitis, information on its gene structure, evolution, and virulence are limited. we report here the complete genome sequence of a novel recombinant e-25 strain (e25/2010/chn/bj) isolated from a neonate with hand, foot, and mouth disease complicated by encephalitis in beijing, china in 2010. the complete viral genome consists of 7429 nucleotides (nts), including a 6585-nt open reading frame. phyl ...201525749996
clinical characteristics and molecular epidemiology of enterovirus infection in infants <3 months in a referral paediatric hospital of barcelona.enterovirus (ev) infection is common in infants, but the information with regard to the molecular epidemiology and the associations between types and clinical variables is very scarce. this study includes 195 children <3 months old with fever, attended from march 2010 to december 2012 in an emergency department of a tertiary paediatric hospital in whom ev infection was confirmed by real-time pcr in blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid. clinical and epidemiological data was prospectively collected. i ...201526003661
detection and genotyping of enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid in patients in victoria, australia, 2007-2013.genotyping by vp1 fragment polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and nucleic acid sequencing to detect enterovirus (ev) genotypes was performed directly on 729 ev pcr positive cerebrospinal fluid (csf) samples collected between 2007 and 2012 from victorian hospital inpatients. the overall genotype identification rate from csf-positive material was 43%. the four most common genotypes identified were echovirus 6 (24%), echovirus 30 (17%), echovirus 25 (10%), and coxsackievirus a9 (10%), together compris ...201424474149
a novel enterovirus and parechovirus multiplex one-step real-time pcr-validation and clinical experience.as the number of new enteroviruses and human parechoviruses seems ever growing, the necessity for updated diagnostics is relevant. we have updated an enterovirus assay and combined it with a previously published assay for human parechovirus resulting in a multiplex one-step rt-pcr assay. the multiplex assay was validated by analysing the sensitivity and specificity of the assay compared to the respective monoplex assays, and a good concordance was found. furthermore, the enterovirus assay was ab ...201323845901
human parechovirus-3 infection in children, south korea.human parechoviruses (hpevs) have recently been recognized as important viral pathogens causing sepsis-like illness and meningitis in children, but the data on these infections in korea is limited. klassevirus is emerging as a novel etiologic agent of acute gastroenteritis, but its role in meningitis remains unclear.201323800693

enterovirus meningitis in brazil, 1998-2003.acute viral infections of the central nervous system (cns) such as acute flaccid paralysis, meningitis, and encephalitis, are responsible for a high morbidity, particularly in children. non-polio enteroviruses (npev) are known to be responsible for over 80% of viral meningitis in which the etiologic agent is identified. in the present study, we show the frequency of enterovirus meningitis in brazil from december 1998 to december 2003. enterovirus were isolated from 162 (15.8%), of a total of 1,0 ...200616299728
[serotype distribution of enteroviruses isolated from paediatric cases prediagnosed as aseptic meningitis between 2001-2004 period].enteroviruses have major clinical and public health importance and are one of the leading causes of aseptic meningitis. there are many diseases with similar clinical symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) findings of aseptic meningitis, thus virus isolation and identification is crucial for definitive diagnosis. virological diagnosis is nonetheless important to distinguish between induced meningitis and other treatable causes of disease with a similar clinical picture. a total of 249 samples obt ...200515900836
virucidal efficacy of glutaraldehyde against enteroviruses is related to the location of lysine residues in exposed structures of the vp1 capsid protein.glutaraldehyde (gta) is a potent virucidal disinfectant whose exact mode of action against enteroviruses is not understood. earlier reports showed that gta reacts preferentially with the vp1 capsid protein of echovirus 25 and poliovirus 1 and that gta has affinity for exposed lysine residues on proteins. to investigate further the inactivation of enteroviruses by gta, seven strains were selected on the basis of differences in their overall number and the positions of lysine residues in the amino ...200415006797
improved diagnosis on a daily basis of enterovirus meningitis using a one-step real-time rt-pcr assay.the detection of the enterovirus genome in cerebrospinal fluid (csf) by pcr techniques has proved to be more sensitive than traditional cell culture for the diagnosis of enterovirus meningitis. however, pcr assays are time consuming and labor intensive, particularly if separate hybridization steps are used to confirm the specificity of positive findings. the aim of this study was to develop a one-step real-time rt-pcr assay with lightcycler (lc) technology that was sensitive, rapid, and easy to ...200415484276
determination of enterovirus serotype inferred from sequence analysis of pcr products.enterovirus infections are common in neonates. virus isolation is the only diagnostic method to confirm enterovirus serotype infections, however, is not always successful.200312637085
characterization of echovirus 25 (ecv 25) in the vp1/2a gene junction region. brief report.genetic relationships among echovirus type 25 (ecv 25) isolates associated with aseptic meningitis in germany 1997/98 and a 40-year-old ecv 25 prototype strain were investigated using rt-pcr and direct sequencing the vp1/2a gene junction region. sequences were compared to each other and to non-polio enterovirus representatives (phylogenetic analysis). the analysis indicated that the sequences of recent isolates have drifted over time distinctly away from the prototype strain sequence. genetic dr ...199910603180
comparative sensitivity of the echovirus type 25 jv-4 prototype strain and two recent isolates to glutaraldehyde at low concentrations.the sensitivity of two recently isolated antigenic variants of echovirus type 25 (montpellier 76-1262 and thionville 86-222) to glutaraldehyde (gta) at low concentrations was compared with that of the jv-4 prototype strain. the purified viruses were treated under the same conditions with gta at concentrations ranging from 0.002 to 0.10%. the wild strains exhibited significantly lower sensitivity to gta than did the prototype strain; with 0.10% gta, a 2 log10 unit reduction was obtained in 5 min ...19948135510
