- Abstract
We describe a newborn with neonatal meningitis caused by an enterovirus. The case illustrated how it may be easy to miss these viruses given the limitation of virological tests. Enteroviruses or EV are RNA viruses broadly divided into polio and non polio groups. Non-polio enteroviruses include echoviruses, coxsackie A and B viruses and a number of unclassified enteroviruses (Bennett, 2009). They are responsible for a range of clinical illnesses with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and severity.
