Two children are described with primary hypogammaglobulinaemia and encephalitis associated with echovirus infection. One also developed a condition resembling dermatomyositis which improved after he was given infusions of plasma containing antibody to the echovirus. Although both died of their encephalitis, the course of the brain disease in one of them may have been prolonged by treatment with specific antibody. These cases, together with another briefly mentioned case in an adult with congenital hypogammaglobulinaemia and echovirus infection, indicate that these patients are particularly susceptible to echoviruses.
本文描述了两名患有原发性低丙种球蛋白血症并伴有与埃可病毒感染相关的脑炎的儿童。其中一名儿童还出现了类似皮肌炎的病症，在输注含有抗埃可病毒抗体的血浆后病情有所改善。尽管两人均死于脑炎，但其中一人的脑部疾病病程可能因特异性抗体治疗而延长。这些病例，连同另一例简要提及的患有先天性低丙种球蛋白血症并感染埃可病毒的成人病例，表明这些患者对埃可病毒特别易感。
