Article Synopsis
- - Human parechovirus (HPeV) is a recently identified virus linked to serious conditions like fever of unknown origin and meningitis in young infants; this study aimed to explore its epidemiology and clinical features.
- - Over three years, a study in 12 hospitals in Spain found that 5.52% of 850 specimens tested positive for HPeV, predominantly HPeV-3, with most cases occurring in neonates, highlighting symptoms such as fever, irritability, and gastrointestinal issues.
- - The study concluded that HPeV infections primarily occur in the spring and summer months, with a significant number of infants experiencing severe symptoms; it suggested that enhanced molecular diagnostic methods could improve patient care.
The epidemiology and clinical association of enterovirus (EV) and parechovirus (HPeV) infections, as well as the type-distribution-according-to-age, were determined during a 4-year study period in Spain. During 2010-2013, a total of 21,832 clinical samples were screened for EV and the detection frequency was 6.5% (1,430).

This enterovirus (EV) type was detected mainly in young children (<6 months) and was associated with neurological (78 %) and respiratory diseases (10 %) but also with myo/pericarditis (10 %). Two myocarditis cases were fatal.
