Fourteen cases of infection with ECHO 6 virus in the Chelmsford area from August to December 1968 are described. A comparative account of the seasonal, geographical and age incidence is given, and its relationship to certain epidemiological aspects is discussed. Aseptic meningitis occurred in eleven patients, pharyngitis in seven and myalgia in five. One patient suffered from pericarditis, a manifestation of this infection which has not hitherto been recognized. Another patient suffering from aseptic meningitis developed nephritis during the course of the illness, an association which has not been reported with ECHO 6 infection. A relapse occurred in one patient with meningitis. No permanent ill-effects followed in any case.
本文描述了1968年8月至12月在切姆斯福德地区发生的14例埃可6型病毒感染病例。文中给出了关于其季节性、地理分布和年龄发病率的比较说明，并讨论了它与某些流行病学方面的关系。11例患者发生无菌性脑膜炎，7例出现咽炎，5例有肌痛。1例患者患心包炎，这是该感染迄今未被认识到的一种表现。另1例患无菌性脑膜炎的患者在病程中出现肾炎，这种关联在埃可6型病毒感染中尚未见报道。1例脑膜炎患者出现复发。所有病例均未留下永久性不良后果。
