Hyun Ji Kim, Hae Kwan Cheong, Cheoll Jung, Kyu Man Lee, Young Mee Jee, Won Duck Kim, Dong Seok Lee, Doo Kwun Kim, Sung Min Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(4):392-398.   Published online April 15, 2004
Purpose : The cause of aseptic meningitis remains mostly unknown because viral culture and identification is difficult. Thus, we report a study on 123 children with aseptic meningitis in Gyeongju in 2002 to identify the causing virus and the relationship with the clinical manifestation. Methods : We prospectively investigated the patients, admitted to Dongguk University Hospital, into two groups between April...

Hyun Kyung Roh, Hee Jung Chung, Young Mee Jee, Doo Sung Cheon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(11):1305-1310.   Published online November 15, 2001
Enterovirus 71(EV71), like polioviruses, invades the central nervous system to give rise to aseptic meningitis, encephalitis or myelitis. EV71 was first isolated in California in 1969 from a 9-month- old infant with encephalitis. Since then it has been isolated from the brain of children who died of encephalitis and from feces of patients with meningitis, encephalitis or paralysis. Related strains...
