  • Title: [Importance of enteroviruses in neuropaediatrics: from polioviruses to other enteroviruses].
    Author: Cabrerizo M, Grupo Para El Estudio de Las Infecciones Por Enterovirus Y Parechovirus GPEELIPEYP.
    Journal: Rev Neurol; 2017 May 17; 64(s03):S35-S38. PubMed ID: 28524217.
    Abstract:
    Enteroviruses are among the most common human viruses around the world. More than 100 different serotypes that can cause a range of clinical pathologies have been identified, although the most frequent are those that affect the central nervous system, such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis or paralysis, which in some cases can be very severe or even fatal. In recent years, enterovirus outbreaks associated to new diseases have been reported all over the world, and as a result some serotypes have been considered 'emerging' pathogens. Yet, our knowledge about these viruses, especially about the non-polio enteroviruses that produce neuropathologies, is still limited. Surveillance systems are crucial to understand the epidemiology of the infections due to enterovirus and to be able to take appropriate action to deal with future outbreaks or epidemics. TITLE: Importancia de los enterovirus en neuropediatria: de los poliovirus a otros enterovirus. UNLABELLED: Los enterovirus son unos de los virus humanos mas comunes en todo el mundo. Se han identificado mas de 100 serotipos distintos que pueden causar diversas patologias clinicas, aunque las mas frecuentes son las que afectan al sistema nervioso central, como meningitis aseptica, encefalitis o paralisis, que en algunos casos pueden ser muy graves e incluso mortales. En los ultimos años, se han descrito brotes por enterovirus asociados a nuevas enfermedades en todo el mundo, de tal manera que algunos serotipos se consideran patogenos 'emergentes'. Sin embargo, el conocimiento que tenemos sobre estos virus, especialmente sobre los enterovirus no polio que producen neuropatologias, todavia es limitado. Los sistemas de vigilancia resultan fundamentales para entender la epidemiologia de las infecciones por enterovirus y poder prevenir y actuar frente a futuros brotes o epidemias.
