Approfondimenti necessari sul liquido cerebro spinale
<p>The human parechoviruses (HPeV) have recently been recognized as emerging pathogenic microorganisms causing a broad pattern of diseases including sepsis and meningitis in children. A born-at-term, 33-day-old child, was admitted to the hospital with fever, irritability, and loss of appetite. Results of physical examination and routine blood chemistry were unremarkable (no lung rales or skin rashes; normal hemoglobin and leukocyte and platelets counts) with the only exception of an elevated procalcitonin serum level. Examination of the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed pleocytosis, normal glycorrhachia and a mild increase of proteins. Blood and CSF cultures were negative. When tested with a commercial multiplex PCR technology (FILMARRAY®- Biomerieux), CSF turned out positive for the HPeV. Rapid identification of HPeV may contribute to reduce the laboratory turnaround time and improve clinical management. HPeV should be included in the differential diagnosis of young children with central nervous system symptoms and sepsis-like illness.</p>
