Infección por el virus Coxsackie A24 que se presenta como parálisis flácida aguda
Lancet (London, England)
|September 18, 2001
Resumen
El virus Coxsackie A24, un virus con alto potencial de brote, se ha asociado con brotes de parálisis flácida aguda (AFP). Este hallazgo es significativo ya que imita las infecciones por poliovirus silvestres.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Virología Virología.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
Sus antecedentes:
- Se sabe que los enterovirus causan brotes de parálisis flácida aguda (AFP).
- Las infecciones por poliovirus salvajes son una preocupación primordial para los brotes de AFP en todo el mundo.
- El virus Coxsackie A24 tiene un alto potencial de brote, pero no se ha relacionado previamente con la AFP.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para describir la asociación del virus Coxsackie A24 con la AFP en Timor Oriental.
- Para resaltar el potencial de brote del virus Coxsackie A24 en el contexto de la AFP.
Principales métodos:
- Descripción del caso de pacientes con AFP en Timor Oriental.
- Identificación del virus Coxsackie A24 como el agente causal.
Principales resultados:
- El virus Coxsackie A24 se asoció con los brotes de AFP.
- Este virus, previamente no implicado en la AFP, demostró un potencial de brote significativo.
Conclusiones:
- El virus Coxsackie A24 debe considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de los brotes de AFP.
- La vigilancia de los enterovirus no poliomielitales como el virus Coxsackie A24 es crucial para la salud pública.

01:18Viral Meningitis
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
01:25Arboviral Encephalitis
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...
01:28Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
01:19Encephalitis l: Introduction
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...
01:26Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...
01:26Brain Abscess l: Introduction
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...
