heal.abstractAn outbreak of aseptic meningitis was recorded in Greece during the year 2001. Detection of the clinical strains was achieved by performing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on RNA isolated from cell cultures inoculated with treated faecal material from the patients. Serotypic identification of the isolates with mixed equine antisera pools followed and the RT-PCR amplicons were further studied by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and sequencing. Fifty-three clinical enterovirus strains were isolated from respective cases of suspected enterovirus infection, most of which showed the clinical symptoms of aseptic meningitis. Echovirus (ECV) 6 was the most frequently isolated serotype, followed by coxsackie B viruses, ECV13, poliovirus type 1 (PV1) vaccine strain and ECV30. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed the existence of different genetic groups on the basis of the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the genome, which circulated in the population during the same time period. Different serotypes belonged to the same genetic group and vice versa. The 5'-UTR seems to be appropriate for the investigation of enterovirus evolution and epidemiology.en
