Sepsis and sepsis-like illness in neonates and infants are serious emergencies. Recently, human parechovirus type 3 (HPeV-3) has been identified as a further etiologic agent of these conditions. We report two unlinked cases of infant HPeV-3 sepsis-like illness whose sources could be traced back to elder siblings with mild gastroenteritis and respiratory symptoms.
新生儿和婴儿的脓毒症和脓毒症样疾病是严重的紧急情况。最近,人类副肠孤病毒 3 型(HPeV-3)已被确定为这些疾病的另一个病因。我们报告了两例无关联的婴儿 HPeV-3 脓毒症样疾病病例,其传染源可追溯到患有轻度胃肠炎和呼吸道症状的兄姐。
