Echovirus fatal 11 infecciones en brote en la unidad de cuidados especiales para bebés
Lancet (London, England)
|September 30, 1978
Resumen
Un brote de echovirus 11 en una unidad de cuidados especiales para bebés condujo a 3 muertes neonatales. Este informe detalla los hallazgos patológicos en estas infecciones fatales por el echovirus 11, que anteriormente no estaban documentadas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Virología Virología.
- Neonatología Neonatología.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Se produjo un brote de infección por echovirus 11 en una unidad de cuidados especiales para bebés.
- Este brote resultó en una morbilidad y mortalidad significativas entre los neonatos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para informar los cambios patológicos en las infecciones fatales por el echovirus 11.
- Para documentar la ocurrencia de una epidemia mortal de echovirus 11 en una unidad de cuidados especiales para bebés.
Principales métodos:
- Notificación de casos clínicos en el informe de casos clínicos.
- Aislamiento viral y identificación.
- Examen patológico de los casos fatales.
Principales resultados:
- Tres recién nacidos murieron a causa de la infección por el echovirus 11.
- Seis bebés adicionales fueron infectados, con tres exhibiendo síntomas.
- Se documentaron por primera vez cambios patológicos en los casos fatales.
Conclusiones:
- Echovirus 11 puede causar infecciones mortales en los recién nacidos.
- Las epidemias de echovirus 11 en las unidades de cuidados especiales para bebés representan una seria amenaza.
- Los informes patológicos detallados son cruciales para comprender la patogénesis viral.

01:23Investigation of Disease Outbreaks
Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...
01:18Bacterial Gastroenteritis
Bacterial gastroenteritis, characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting, is often caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water and is frequently associated with pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. These microbes exploit two principal mechanisms to inflict disease.Shiga toxin–producing E. coli, also referred to as STEC—notably O157:H7—release Shiga toxins that target ribosomes, blocking protein synthesis. The B subunit of the toxin binds the host glycolipid receptor...
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...
01:17Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...
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...
01:29Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen that primarily targets infants and young children but also poses a serious health risk to elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Belonging to the Pneumoviridae family, RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Pneumovirus genus. Its global health burden is significant, with millions of cases annually resulting in hospitalizations and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although most...
