Abstract:
Enterovirus is a common cause of neonatal virus infection, which is primarily transmitted by fecal-oral and respiratory routes and can cause nosocomial infection and outbreak in nursery or neonatal intensive care unit.Most infants with enterovirus infection are asymptomatic or just have mild self-limiting symptoms.Severe infection is less common but with significantly increased mortality, and may be complicated by the encephalitis/meningoencephalitis, myocarditis and/or hepatitis.Early recognition and prompt isolation of infants with enterovirus infection are important strategies for nosocomial infection control.
