During the year 2000 in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, 559 cases of aseptic meningitis due to enterovirus infection were recorded (approximate incidence, 10 cases per 100,000 population compared with a mean of 0.3 cases during endemic years in this region; P<0.001). Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from all 559 patients and processed for enterovirus RNA detection using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay only. In addition to the cerebrospinal fluid samples, 40 stool and 76 throat samples were collected from 116 patients (20.7% of cases); the following three enterovirus serotypes were isolated from the stool and throat samples only: ECHOvirus 13 (48/116; 41.3%), ECHOvirus 30 (44/116;37.9%) and ECHOvirus 6 (24/116, 20.7%). This is the first report that demonstrates the involvement of three different ECHOvirus serotypes, particularly ECHOvirus 13, in an outbreak of aseptic meningitis, in the French Rhône-Alpes region.
2000年,在法国罗纳-阿尔卑斯地区,共记录了559例由肠道病毒感染引起的无菌性脑膜炎病例(发病率约为每10万人中有10例,而该地区在流行年份的平均发病率为每10万人中有0.3例;P<0.001)。从所有559例患者身上采集了脑脊液样本,仅使用逆转录聚合酶链反应检测法对样本进行肠道病毒RNA检测。除脑脊液样本外,还从116例患者(占病例总数的20.7%)身上采集了40份粪便样本和76份咽喉样本;仅从粪便和咽喉样本中分离出了以下三种肠道病毒血清型:埃可病毒13型(48/116;41.3%)、埃可病毒30型(44/116;37.9%)和埃可病毒6型(24/116,20.7%)。这是首份证明三种不同的埃可病毒血清型,尤其是埃可病毒13型,在法国罗纳-阿尔卑斯地区无菌性脑膜炎暴发中起作用的报告。
