ASEPTIC MENINGITIS ASSOCIATED WITH ECHO VIRUS TYPE 9 INFECTION. WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO VARIABILITY BY SEX AND INCIDENCE OF PARALYTIC SEQUELAE. 1965

B PORTNOY, and B HANES, and N F PIERCE, and J M LEEDOM, and E E KUNZMAN, and P F WEHRLE

The clinical and clinical laboratory findings in a group of 104 patients with aseptic meningitis associated with ECHO-9 infection were widely variable.A male to female case ratio of 3.7:1 was noted, and the mean age of the female group was significantly greater than that of the male group. The median of cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte counts was significantly higher in the male than in the female patients. Clinical manifestations of the disease were similar to those noted in other reports. Residual paralysis was rare and mild. Further study of the ecology of aseptic meningitis seems indicated for elucidation of the factors governing variability of the disease by sex.

D008582 Meningitis, Aseptic A syndrome characterized by headache, neck stiffness, low grade fever, and CSF lymphocytic pleocytosis in the absence of an acute bacterial pathogen. Viral meningitis is the most frequent cause although MYCOPLASMA INFECTIONS; RICKETTSIA INFECTIONS; diagnostic or therapeutic procedures; NEOPLASTIC PROCESSES; septic perimeningeal foci; and other conditions may result in this syndrome.

TOGAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; FLAVIVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; RUBELLA; BUNYAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ORBIVIRUS infections; PICORNAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; RHABDOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ARENAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; HERPESVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ADENOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; JC VIRUS infections; and RETROVIRIDAE INFECTIONS may cause this form of meningitis. Clinical manifestations include fever, headache, neck pain, vomiting, PHOTOPHOBIA, and signs of meningeal irritation.
