Enteroviruses are among the most common human viruses around the world. More than 100 different serotypes that can cause a range of clinical pathologies have been identified, although the most frequent are those that affect the central nervous system, such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis or paralysis, which in some cases can be very severe or even fatal. In recent years, enterovirus outbreaks associated to new diseases have been reported all over the world, and as a result some serotypes have been considered 'emerging' pathogens. Yet, our knowledge about these viruses, especially about the non-polio enteroviruses that produce neuropathologies, is still limited. Surveillance systems are crucial to understand the epidemiology of the infections due to enterovirus and to be able to take appropriate action to deal with future outbreaks or epidemics.
肠道病毒是世界上最常见的人类病毒之一。尽管最常见的是那些影响中枢神经系统的病毒,如无菌性脑膜炎、脑炎或麻痹症,在某些情况下这些病症可能非常严重甚至致命,但目前已鉴定出100多种可导致一系列临床病变的不同血清型。近年来,世界各地都报告了与新疾病相关的肠道病毒疫情,因此一些血清型被视为“新兴”病原体。然而,我们对这些病毒的了解,尤其是对导致神经病理学的非脊髓灰质炎肠道病毒仍很有限。监测系统对于了解肠道病毒感染的流行病学情况以及能够采取适当行动应对未来的疫情或流行至关重要。
