| coxsackievirus b1 infection in infants less than 2 months of age. | most of the neonatal enteroviral infections reported in the literature are associated with coxsackievirus b2-b5 and echovirus 9 and 11. we report a retrospective coxsackievirus b1 (cb1) infection in infants less than 2 months of age. seventeen patients had aseptic meningitis and 8 had systemic sepsis (multi-organ involvement including meningitis, impaired liver function, and abnormality in coagulation). the symptoms and signs were nonspecific and could not be distinguished with bacterial infecti ... | 1998 | 9572369 |
| high incidence of mammalian orthoreovirus identified by environmental surveillance in taiwan. | wild poliovirus (wpv) persists in diverse locales worldwide, spreading outward from endemic areas. in response to the international threat of wpv transmission and changes in the national vaccination policy, we established an environmental surveillance system to monitor the circulation of wild and vaccine-related poliovirus in taiwan. from july 2012 to december 2013, we collected sewage specimens every month from 10 sewage treatment plants located throughout taiwan. the specimens were concentrate ... | 2015 | 26555962 |
| phylodynamic reconstruction of the spatiotemporal transmission and demographic history of coxsackievirus b2. | studies regarding coxsackievirus (cv) tend to focus on epidemic outbreaks, an imbalanced topology is considered to be an indication of acute infection with partial cross-immunity. in enteroviruses, a clear understanding of the characteristics of tree topology, transmission, and its demographic dynamics in viral succession and circulation are essential for identifying prevalence trends in endemic pathogens such as coxsackievirus b2 (cv-b2). this study applied a novel bayesian evolutionary approac ... | 2015 | 26390997 |
| an echovirus 18 associated outbreak of aseptic meningitis in taiwan:epidemiology, diagnostic, and genetic aspects. | in 2006, an outbreak of aseptic meningitis was noted in taiwan. the majority (27.4%) of enterovirus isolates was echovirus 18 (e18). from january to october, 2006, a total of 3,283 collected from patients with viral infection, including 173 cerebrospinal fluid (csf), were examined for viral isolation and identification. phylogenetic relationship among e18 strains was probed. the epidemic saw 339 enterovirus (ev) positive cases were identified by viral culture: e.g., echovirus 18 (e18) (27.4%, 93 ... | 2011 | 21546563 |
