Abstract:
Enteroviruses are important etiologic agents of many human diseases such as diarrhea, self-limiting gastroenteritis, respiratory infections, conjunctivitis, hepatitis, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, and paralysis. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the frequency of enteroviral infections in Poland in 2008-2009. Out of 178 clinical materials tested for the presence of enteroviruses, 24 samples (13,5%) were positive. In the case of 153 samples from patients suffering from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), positive results were obtained for 6 samples (4%). Moreover, 25 samples coming from patients with clinical symptoms caused by nonpoliomyelitic enteroviruses were analyzed, giving 18 positive results (72%). The most frequently isolated enterovirus serotypes were Coxsackie B (25%), ECHO30 (25%) i ECHO6 (21%).
