Abstract

Enterovirus isolation was attempted from samples obtained from aseptic meningitis-suspected patients in hospitals in Busan during 2002. Enteroviruses were found in 83 of 703 cases. Echovirus serotypes 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 25, 29, 30 were isolated in 72 cases while coxsackievirus serotypes B3 and B4 were isolated in 11 cases. The occurrence was found to be distributed from April thru November with the highest rate during June and July. The strains of Vero and HEp-2 of echovirus and coxsackievirus, respectively, are highly infectious. Age distribution of patients, 61 patients in Enteroviruses and 11 patients in coxsackievirus, respectively, occurred in 0 to 10 year-olds. The sex distribution of the patients is as follows, 52 males (62.7%), 31 females (37.3%). Occurrence rate was found to be higher in male patients. Electron micrograph of echovirus and coxsackievirus show that they are small nonenevolped, isometric-shaped viruses. Isolated RNA from strains of echovirus and coxsackievirus showing cytopathic effects were used to undergo nested PCR which resulted in a 437 bp single band in all the strains.

2002년도 부산지역의 병ㆍ의원으로부터 의뢰된 바이러스성 뇌수막염으로 의심되는 환자의 가검물을 대상으로 바이러스 분리를 시도한 결과 703건의 검체 중 83건의 장내바이러스를 분리하였다. 이 중 echovirus 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 25, 29, 30 혈청형이 72건으로 가장 많았고, coxsackievirus B3과 B4혈청형이 11건으로 예전에 비해 보다 다양한 경향을 나타내었다. 월별발생 양상은 4월부터 11월까지 넓은 발생 분포를 나타내었지만 특히 6월과 7월에 가장 발생률이 높았다. Echovirus와 coksackievirus는 Veroft HEp-2 세포주에서 강한 병변 효과를 나타내었다. 연령별 및 성별 감염현황은 0-10세 사이의 어린이가 주로 발생하였고, 여아에 비해 남아의 비율이 비교적 높게 나타내었다. 전자현미경으로 촬영한 echovirus 및 coxsackievirus의 형태학적 양상은 모두 envelope가 없고 크기가 30∼35nm로 아주 작은 구형의 특징을 나타내었다. 세포병변 효과가 나타난 세포배양액에 대하여 nested PCR을 수행한 결과 echovirus 및 coxsackievirus 모두 437 bp위치에 단일 띠를 나타내었으며, serotype은 국립보건원 소화기바이러스과에 의뢰하여 확인 동정하였다.
