BACKGROUND: Enteroviral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are often difficult to diagnose, even if consistent conventional laboratory methodologies are used.
OBJECTIVES: To clarify the efficiency of two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for the sensitive detection of enteroviruses and for the identification of enteroviral genotypes based on phylogenetic analysis of the amplified genome sequences, and to facilitate the diagnosis of enteroviral infection in CNS.
STUDY DESIGN: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), throat swab, rectal swab, and/or serum samples were collected from 171 patients with aseptic meningitis and 67 patients with febrile seizures. The samples were tested for the presence of enteroviruses by cell culture and PCR methods for the detection and identification of enteroviruses.
RESULTS: In 111 (64.9%) of 171 patients with aseptic meningitis, enteroviruses were isolated by cell cultures from any site. In 143 (83.6%) patients, including 110 of 111 patients with aseptic meningitis, the enteroviral genome was detected in CSF by PCR. No enterovirus was isolated from any site for the 67 patients with febrile seizures. PCR detected the enteroviral genome in CSF samples from 13 (61.9%) of 21 patients who developed febrile seizures in the summer (June-August). Phylogenetic analysis of amplified genome sequences showed that the major pathogens of febrile seizures in summer were group A coxsackieviruses, which are usually difficult to isolate by cell culture.
CONCLUSION: PCR methods for the detection and identification of enteroviruses were useful for the diagnosis of enteroviral infection in CNS.
