We identified and characterized enteroviruses by amplifying the partial VP1 gene from pediatric patients with aseptic meningitis and other enterovirus-related diseases from the Gyeong-Ju and Po-Hang provinces of Korea in 2003. We identified two strains each of coxsackievirus A (CA) 6, CA9, and CA10; three enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains; and six echovirus 30 (E30) strains. The three EV71 strains were characterized as genogroup C4.

- The study evaluated how aseptic meningitis (AM) and hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) are transmitted, using two research designs and collecting data from hospitals in South Korea.
- Significant risk factors for AM included unboiled drinking water, lack of water purifiers, and contact with AM patients, while HFMD risks were linked to similar water issues and interactions with HFMD patients.
- The results indicated that person-to-person contact and contaminated water are key ways both diseases are spread.
