Bol Med Hosp Infant Mex. 1992 Jul; 49(7):412-5.BM

Abstract

The clinical records of 15 children admitted to Hospital Infantile de México Federico Gómez with diagnosis of viral meningitis were reviewed. They were part of 19 patients admitted with this diagnosis during a 5 week period (March 22 to April 30, 1992) and represent a significant increase of aseptic meningitis compared with the same periods of previous years at Hospital Infantile de Mexico and in Mexico City where there is an ongoing epidemic outbreak of this entity. All the patients studied had spinal fluid findings consistent with viral meningitis and in 4 of them on ECHO virus type 30 was isolated at the Enterovirus Section of the CDC, Atlanta Georgia USA.
