Human parechovirus-3 (HPeV-3) infection is one of the differential diagnoses of neonatal meningoencephalitis. A 13-day-old full-term female neonate presented with a seizure. Brain MRI showed classic imaging findings of the meningoencephalitis which was confirmed on cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
The HPeV-3 is an emerging pathogen for neonatal meningoencephalitis. The case in this study is unique with classic imaging findings, which are not routinely encountered in day-to-day practice. This case raises reader awareness.
人肠道病毒3型(HPeV-3)感染是新生儿脑膜脑炎的鉴别诊断之一。一名13天大的足月儿女婴出现惊厥。脑部磁共振成像显示出脑膜脑炎的典型影像学表现,脑脊液分析证实了这一诊断。
HPeV-3是新生儿脑膜脑炎的一种新兴病原体。本研究中的病例具有典型的影像学表现,在日常实践中并不常见。该病例提高了读者的认识。
