ABSTRACT
Twenty-four patients with presumptive diagnosis of HVE with a mean age of 37.7 years are presented. A qualitative antiHVE by ELISA was performed in all of them, and repeated at monthly intervals during a 6 month period, and 18 gave a positive result for acute HVE. The majority were detected 60 days after the initiation of their signosintomatology. Clinical characterization are outlined.
