Popis: | An infant girl was born apparently well one week after her mother had had a mild illness with chills, fever, and diarrhea. On the third day of life, the infant became ill and died four days later with necrotizing hepatitis. On the same day, echovirus type 11 was recovered from the throat, rectum, and buffy coat of the infant and from the cervix of the mother. At this time, the mother had an IgM neutralizing antibody titer to echovirus type 11 and 1:128, but no IgG antibodies. The infant had no echovirus type 11 antibodies. The virus was also isolated from the baby's liver and adrenal at autopsy. These findings raise the possibility of enterovirus infection at delivery from a contaminated cervix. |
