Neonatal sepsis due to echovirus 18 infection.
Clinical manifestations of neonatal echovirus type 18 infections include a nonspecific febrile illness, diarrhea, and meningitis with or without exanthem. We report a successful outcome in a case of neonatal sepsis with shock caused by echovirus type 18, a complication not previously associated with this serotype.
