Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography monitoring in neonatal enterovirus: A case study

Neonatal non-polio enterovirus infection can present from a mild self-limiting illness to a severe, potentially fatal, multisystem disease. We present the case of a preterm neonate diagnosed with enterovirus strain Echovirus 11. The presentation and clinical management is outlined including findings from amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG). This case illustrates the rapidly evolving nature of specific enterovirus strains, management challenges and the role of aEEG monitoring.
