Does not support routine HPeV PCR in pediatric CSF testing; leaves open need for prospective outcome studies.
Observational (n=776)
Human parechoviruses are present in 9% of pediatric CNS infections in Shanghai, suggesting that HPeV PCR screening should be included in routine viral testing of CSF.
Zhong et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Central nervous system infections (n=776). Human parechoviruses (HPeV) was evaluated on HPeV positivity in cerebrospinal fluid. Human parechoviruses were detected in 9% (68/776) of cerebrospinal fluid samples from children with central nervous system-related diseases in Shanghai, China.
