Echo Viruses

In the present study, nucleotide, amino acid, and phylogenetic analyses for all genomic regions were conducted. For the detection of recombination events, Simplot and bootscan analyses were carried out. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Generalized Disease of the Newborn Neonates often present with an illness resembling bacterial sepsis, with fever, irritability, and lethargy. [doctorslounge.com]

  • Unconsciousness

    He had convulsions, right hemiplegia, cortical motor aphasia, left abducens nerve paralysis, left hypoglossal nerve paralysis, and later became unconscious. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hyperthermia

    The pattern of illness in the neonatal period was diphasic, marked by hyperthermia and the occurrence of seizures. Echovirus was recovered from the cerebrospinal fluid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Poor Feeding

    At 5 days of age, both twins experienced poor feeding, lethargy and hypothermia, and evidence of coagulopathy and hepatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypothermia

    At 5 days of age, both twins experienced poor feeding, lethargy and hypothermia, and evidence of coagulopathy and hepatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Diarrhea

    Clinical manifestations of neonatal echovirus type 18 infections include a nonspecific febrile illness, diarrhea, and meningitis with or without exanthem. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    At the time of the isolation of the viruses the diseases they caused were not known, hence the term “orphan,” but it is now known that they cause many different types of human disease, especially viral meningitis, diarrhea, and various respiratory diseases [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  • Altered Mental Status

    Some patients also showed cold symptoms, sore throat, altered mental status, and seizures. We did not observe a higher fatality rate in children with E6 or E30 infection. Most of the patients recovered uneventfully. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Tremor

    In the course of a prolonged upper respiratory-tract infection, the patient developed muscular hypotonia, resting tremor, ataxia, sleepiness, hyperaesthesia, and indistinct speech. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Aphasia

    He had convulsions, right hemiplegia, cortical motor aphasia, left abducens nerve paralysis, left hypoglossal nerve paralysis, and later became unconscious. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Resting Tremor

    In the course of a prolonged upper respiratory-tract infection, the patient developed muscular hypotonia, resting tremor, ataxia, sleepiness, hyperaesthesia, and indistinct speech. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Focal Seizure

    A fatal case of echovirus type 9 infection is reported in a 9 month old boy who presented with a fever and a macular rash followed by two focal seizures. Echovirus type 9 was isolated from lung tissue after seven days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • White Matter Lesions

    A case of fatal encephalitis with white matter lesions caused by echovirus 18 is described, and it highlights the role of EV CNS infection as a potential cause of leukoencephalitis in infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Based on IVIg treatment failure, we predict that one of these factors could be immune related. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Older children and adults have a better prognosis. Myocarditis is the most frequent complication in adults. Echovirus, like the other Enteroviruses Coxsackievirus A and B, typically causes a mild, nonspecific illness with a low fever. [en.wikipedia.org]

[…] immunosuppressed status exposure to others with echovirus public swimming pool Pathogenesis echovirus binds to decay-accelerating factor, a receptor the virus then replicates in Peyer’s patches it travels to regional lymph nodes and central nervous system Prognosis [step1.medbullets.com]

Children and older patients with disseminated encephalitis have a better prognosis, but fatalities occasionally occur. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) People who have the less severe types of illness should recover completely without treatment. Infections of organs such as the heart may cause severe disease and can be deadly. [nicklauschildrens.org]

Thirty-four samples which were positive for enterovirus were subject to group-specific PCR, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis to identify the etiological agent of the outbreak. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology Human echoviral infection occurs via fecal-oral transmission. Host susceptibility depends on the presence of specific cellular membrane receptor proteins that bind different enteroviral types along taxonomic lines. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The measures taken to prevent further spread of infection with special reference to the use of human normal immunoglobulin are described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention The predominantly mild symptoms and the ubiquitous nature of these infections, means that preventative measures are not usually necessary or recommended. Back to Top [hps.scot.nhs.uk]
