title: [Study on enterovirus aetiology of CNS infection in Shantou].
abstract: Enterovirus isolation and serological assay were done in 236 cases of CNS infection in Shantou. 62 strains of virus (from 55 cases) were isolated from 257 samples of 236 cases (24.1%). 48 cases were positive among 57 cases (84.2%) by serological assay. 78 cases were positive for virus isolation and/or serological assay (33.1%). Virus infection included 33 cases of poliovirus (including 6 polio-I, 18 polio-II, 4 polio-III, 5 mixed infections), 21 cases of Coxsackie virus (including 6 CoxA24,7 CoxB1,2 CoxB4 and 6 CoxB5), 11 cases of ECHO virus (including 5 ECHO-7,2 ECHO-24 and each one of ECHO-11, 12, 15, 27), 10 cases of Enterovirus (including 3 EV-70, 7 EV-71), and 3 cases of mixed viral infection.
