Further Information

Enteroviruses are a part of the Picornaviridae family and so far, comprise more than 70 serotypes, which include Coxsackieviruses A and B, Echoviruses, Polioviruses and Enteroviruses 68 to 71. Transmission of the viruses mainly occurs via the fecal-oral (orofecal) route, although some coxsackieviruses are able to infect by respiratory transmission, causing also infections of the upper respiratory tract. Further diseases associated with enterovirus infections are poliomyelitis (Poliovirus), which is caused by polioviruses, and aseptic meningitis. The latter is a usually benign form, which rarely requires treatment. Unfortunately, its clinical appearance is often undistinguishable from the more severe bacterial types of meningitis. Mostly persons with weak or compromised immune defenses, like small children or persons recovering from a disease or trauma, are affected by infection with these types of viruses.
