Echovirus type 11 (echo 11) has been isolated at the virus laboratory of Fairfield Hospital, Melbourne, Australia, in 20 of the 28 years since the laboratory was established. During this time two major epidemics have occurred; the first, in 1971-2 involved 90 patients with aseptic meningitis or respiratory illness. The second began in June 1979 and lasted for 11 months, during which echo 11 was isolated from 174 patients admitted to Fairfield Hospital, other Victorian and Tasmanian hospitals and a children's reception centre. The patients' illnesses included viral meningitis (66%), fever (10%), respiratory infections (7%) and gastroenteritis (2%). One baby died. Echo 11 was recovered from nasopharyngeal swabs or aspirates, cerebrospinal fluid and faecal specimens and was isolated most frequently in the Borrie cell line. Isolates were readily identified by immune electron microscopy and/or neutralization tests.
自澳大利亚墨尔本费尔菲尔德医院病毒实验室成立后的28年里，有20年分离出了11型艾柯病毒（艾柯11）。在此期间发生了两次大流行；第一次在1971 - 1972年，有90例无菌性脑膜炎或呼吸道疾病患者。第二次始于1979年6月，持续了11个月，在此期间，从费尔菲尔德医院、维多利亚州和塔斯马尼亚州的其他医院以及一个儿童接待中心收治的174例患者中分离出了艾柯11。患者的疾病包括病毒性脑膜炎（66%）、发热（10%）、呼吸道感染（7%）和肠胃炎（2%）。有一名婴儿死亡。从鼻咽拭子或吸出物、脑脊液和粪便标本中分离出了艾柯11，且在博里细胞系中分离最为频繁。通过免疫电子显微镜和/或中和试验可轻松鉴定分离株。
