Aim: Study the manifestations of epidemic process and leading transmission routes of causative agents of enterovirus serous meningitis (SM) by results of laboratory studies and epidemiologic examination of epidemic nidi.
Materials And Methods: During 2010 - 2014 a study for enterovirus was carried out in cerebrospinal fluid in 743 patients, hospitalized into medical organizations of Perm with primary diagnosis "serous meningitis", feces of 426 individuals, that had communicated with patients with SM of enterovirus etiology; 827 water samples from the distribution network, 295 water samples from open water and 57 washes from surface of vegetables and fruits. All the samples were studied in polymerase chain reaction, part--by a virological method.
In the Perm Territory from 2010 to 2014 155 samples offoul andfecal waste waters, 293 samples of surface water, 827 samples of supply net water, and 57 vegetable and fruit water-washes were examined for the RNA enterovirus agent with the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. In parallel 155 wastewater samples, 20 samples of surface water, and 4 samples of supply net water were examined for non-polio enterovirus agent with the use of virological methods. In the samples of foul waste waters the RNA enterovirus agent was detected in 74.
