disseminated neonatal echovirus 11 disease following antenatal maternal infection with a virus-positive cervix and virus-negative gastrointestinal tract.an infant girl was born apparently well one week after her mother had had a mild illness with chills, fever, and diarrhea. on the third day of life, the infant became ill and died four days later with necrotizing hepatitis. on the same day, echovirus type 11 was recovered from the throat, rectum, and buffy coat of the infant and from the cervix of the mother. at this time, the mother had an igm neutralizing antibody titer to echovirus type 11 and 1:128, but no igg antibodies. the infant had no e ...19836619813
epidemic of meningitis and febrile illness in neonates caused by echo type 11 virus in philadelphia.between april and november, 1980, an outbreak of meningitis and of febrile illness of neonates caused by echo 11 virus occurred in philadelphia and surrounding communities. thirty-eight virologically confirmed and ten virologically presumptive cases of meningitis were hospitalized in two philadelphia hospitals for children. most patients had fever and irritability. vomiting, upper respiratory symptoms and poor feeding were present in one-third to one-half of the cases. seventy-five percent of ca ...19836634464
subacute salicylate intoxication in an infant with echovirus type 11 infection.an antigenic variant of e 11 was the most frequently encountered echovirus in the united states in 1979. several reports have indicated that infection with this agent was often associated with an overwhelming clinical course in neonates. our case was in a 5-week-old infant with an e 11 infection complicated by subacute salicylate intoxication. this unfavorable combination resulted in a fulminant and fatal illness simulating reye's syndrome.19846701596
