title: Aseptic meningitis in a neonate with an oral vesicular lesion.
abstract: Enteroviruses may be responsible for severe, life-threatening diseases, such as meningitis, within the neonatal period. Differentiation of an enteroviral etiology from that of herpes simplex virus may be difficult initially. We describe a case of aseptic meningitis in which the use of a viral blood culture was helpful.
