Coxsackieviruses in Ontario, January 2005 to December 2011
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryBackgroundIn 2010, there was an increase in enterovirus meningitis in the province of Ontario, Canada. Concurrently, there was also an increase in coxsackievirus A9-positive specimens in Alberta, Canada. This study aimed to describe the results of an investigation into the increase in coxsackievirus (A9 serotype) in 2010 in Ontario.MethodsFor the purpose of this study, we report on specimens tested by viral culture at Public Health Ontario Laboratory as part of routine laboratory testing from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2011.ResultsCoxsackieviruses represented more than one third of enteroviruses detected, with A9 being the serotype most commonly identified. The most common specimen source in which A9 was isolated was cerebrospinal fluid, followed by nasopharyngeal swabs and stool. Patients in whom A9 was detected were older than individuals with any other coxsackievirus serotype.ConclusionsThe increase in enterovirus meningitis in Ontario in 2010 was likely due to an increase in A9 circulation. A9 was most commonly identified among children; however A9 may cause severe illness in both children and adults. Monitoring the circulation and epidemiology of enteroviruses can inform clinicians about circulating pathogens to optimize clinical testing and antibiotic use.
