| epidemiologic features and virus isolation of enteroviruses in northern taiwan during 2000-2008. | the susceptibility of five cell lines, rd, mrc-5, mk-2, hep-2 and a549, for various serotypes of human enteroviruses was evaluated. rd cells were susceptible to most serotypes of enteroviruses, especially for human enterovirus a. consequently, a high prevalence of human enterovirus a in taiwan may reflect the relative importance of rd cells in the clinical virology laboratory. however, susceptibilities of rd cells to coxsackievirus a9 and a24, and echovirus 9 and 11 were exceptionally low. alter ... | 2010 | 20214926 |
| 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 |
| clinical observations and virological study of aseptic meningitis in the kaohsiung area. | during 1988, an endemic outbreak of aseptic meningitis was noted in the kaohsiung area. throughout the year, a total of 89 cases were identified by cerebrospinal fluid (csf) examination at the pediatric department of kaohsiung medical college. the peak incidence was from june to october. scattered cases still occurred during november and december. the male to female ratio was 1.7:1 and the age distribution ranged from 1 month to 15 years old. two peaks of age distribution were observed; one in i ... | 1990 | 1981774 |
