Cerebrospinal fluid specimens from 57 patients diagnosed with meningitis were tested for Japanese encephalitis virus. Total RNA was extracted from the specimens and amplified. Two products had highest homology with Nakayama strain and 2 with Ishikawa strain. Results suggest that Japanese encephalitis virus causes some aseptic meningitis in Japan.
对57例诊断为脑膜炎的患者的脑脊液标本进行了日本脑炎病毒检测。从标本中提取总RNA并进行扩增。有两种产物与中山株的同源性最高,两种与石川株的同源性最高。结果表明,日本脑炎病毒在日本可引起一些无菌性脑膜炎。
