Summary

Enteroviruses cause various illnesses, with Acute Haemorrhagic Conjunctivitis being the most common epidemic disease since 1970. These viruses, including Coxsackievirus A24 and Enterovirus 70, were frequently isolated from patients in Singapore.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Enteroviruses are a significant cause of human illness globally.
  • Enterovirus infections present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
  • Singapore has experienced notable enterovirus outbreaks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the nature of enteroviruses and their infections.
  • To highlight enterovirus epidemiology in Singapore.
  • To detail specific enterovirus-related diseases observed.

Main Methods:

  • Review of enterovirus and enterovirus infection data.
  • Analysis of disease patterns and causative agents.
  • Case studies and epidemiological surveillance in Singapore.

Main Results:

  • Acute Haemorrhagic Conjunctivitis (AHC) is the predominant enterovirus epidemic disease since 1970.
  • Coxsackievirus A24 variant and Enterovirus type 70 are key etiological agents of AHC.
  • Diverse enterovirus serotypes were isolated throughout the year, linked to varied illnesses.

Conclusions:

  • Enteroviruses remain a persistent public health concern, causing diverse infections.
  • AHC, driven by specific enteroviruses, represents a major epidemic enterovirus disease.
  • Ongoing surveillance is crucial for managing enterovirus infections in Singapore.
