ABSTRACT
Most human enterovirus 71 (EV71) infections present with mild conditions such as hand-foot-mouth disease or herpangina. However, EV71 can invade the central nervous system, causing neurologic diseases such as brainstem encephalitis, meningitis and acute flaccid paralysis despite the near complete eradication of polioviruses. Neurological complications from EV71 infection occur within a few days and can lead to death even though rare. There is no report for EV71 infection with severe neurological manifestation in Jeju Island so far. We therefore report a case of EV 71 infection with bilateral acute flaccid paralysis for the first time in Jeju Island with review of related articles.
