Enteroviral meningitis is seasonal, typically exhibiting a rise in prevalence in late summer/early fall. Based on clinical microbiology laboratory testing data of cerebrospinal fluid, the expected August/September/October peak in enteroviral meningitis did not occur in 2020, possibly related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mitigation strategies.
肠道病毒脑膜炎具有季节性,通常在夏末/初秋发病率上升。根据脑脊液临床微生物学实验室检测数据,2020 年预计 8 月/9 月/10 月肠道病毒脑膜炎发病高峰并未出现,这可能与 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)缓解策略有关。
