Clinicians should consider enteroviral testing in febrile infants despite normal parameters; observational data leaves open diagnostic algorithm revisions.
Cross-Sectional (n=65)
In young infants with fever without source, enteroviral meningitis often presents without altered infectious parameters or pleocytosis and has a benign short-term evolution.
Gómez et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Enteroviral meningitis (n=65). Enteroviral meningitis in infants <3 months presented with normal infectious parameters in 63.0% and no pleocytosis in 60%, with all 65 patients recovering without short-term complications.
