Alerts clinicians to consider HPeV in febrile infants; Level 5 data leaves optimal strategies open for prospective study.
Human parechovirus is an emerging infection in young infants that presents with fever, irritability, and sometimes severe manifestations like meningoencephalitis or sepsis-like syndromes, requiring supportive care and pediatric follow-up.
Britton et al. (2018) conducted a review in Human parechovirus (HPeV) infection. Human parechovirus (HPeV) infection was evaluated.
