Abstract
Background. Because enteroviruses can be detected in various clinical samples during enteroviral meningitis, we analyzed the combined diagnostic utility of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), feces, and serum for detection of enterovirus in specimens obtained from adults with aseptic meningitis or encephalitis.Keywords
