A relatively high proportion of children with enteroviral meningitis present without CSF pleocytosis, and while most have good outcomes, rare neurologic complications are associated with longer fever duration and higher CSF protein.
최서열 et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Pediatric enteroviral meningitis (n=151). CSF pleocytosis vs. No CSF pleocytosis was evaluated on Neurologic complications (p=1.000). In children with enteroviral meningitis, 36.4% presented without CSF pleocytosis, and neurologic complications were rare (2.6%) with no significant difference based on the presence of pleocytosis.
