Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Five cases of fatal neonatal echovirus type 11 infection were observed in the Boston area during the summer and fall of 1979. Four of the mothers experienced gastroenteritis with fever and abdominal cramps late in the third trimester of pregnancy. The clinical course of each case was characterized by jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and progressive hepatic failure; all five infants were severely hypotonic. At autopsy massive hepatic and adrenal hemorrhage and necrosis, with evidence of consumption coagulopathy, were found. Echovirus type 11 was isolated from various sites before and after death. The histopathologic features and epidemiologic aspects of these cases are briefly discussed. |
