ABSTRACT

Introduction: the enterovirus is one of the causal agents usually affecting the central nervous system.
Objectives: to determine the enterovirus frequency in children hospitalized with meningoencephalitis.
Methods: a descriptive-observational study of 66 infants with viral meningoencephalitis admitted in "Dr. Eduardo Agramonte Piña" Provincial Pediatric Hospital was carried out in Camagüey province from January, 2011 to July, 2012.
Results: 26.6% of the affected ones were isolated due to enterovirus in the year 2011 and 84.3% in 2012. The diagnosed agent was ECHO virus 30, which affected all the ages with positivity between 63.0 and 100.0%. The male sex prevailed (78.4%) coming from 11 municipalities, with positivities higher than 70% in Florida and Camagüey. The predominant symptoms were migraines, fever, vomits and general uneasiness. Most of the patients had a cytochemical study of the cerebrospinal fluid from 10 and 199 cells per 106/L with lymphocytes prevalence.
Conclusions: great number of the affected patients had a satisfactory clinical course with hospital stay of just 4 days.
