ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Meningitis is an acute childhood infection caused by viral or bacterial infection. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the differences between enteroviral meningitis and non-enteroviral aseptic meningitis.METHODS:
From January 2013 to December 2016, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of a total of 303 aseptic meningitis patients who visited Wonju Severance Christian Hospital. We examined demographics of all patients and analyzed serologic and cerebrospinal fluid tests, clinical symptoms, and outcomes.RESULTS:
Of a total of 303 patients, 197(65.0%) were male, and the most cases occurred from June to November (91.8%). The most common pathogen of meningitis was found to be enterovirus (65.0%). According to the etiology, the enteroviral meningitis group had significantly more headache and enteric symptoms (P=0.0003 and P=0.0013, respectively). Furthermore, the non-enteroviral meningitis group showed pleocytosis in the cerebrospinal fluid and a significantly higher rate of seizure at 1 to 4 years (P=0.0360 and P=0.0002, respectively).CONCLUSION:
In this study, enteroviral meningitis was the most common and the prognosis was good. When compared between two groups, neurological symptoms were frequent in patients with non-enteroviral meningitis in groups 1 to 4 years.
