Abstract
Human parechoviruses (HPeVs) are RNA viruses that have characteristics similar to those of enteroviruses and usually cause mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. Human parechovirus type 3 (HPeV3), first reported in 2004, is exceptional because it can provoke sepsis and meningoencephalitis leading to neurological sequelae, and even death, in neonates and young infants. Pediatricians and researchers are increasingly aware that HPeV3 is responsible for serious disease in neonates and young infants. Retrospective studies and several reports of epidemics of HPeV3 infection have provided data on epidemiology, clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory findings, and outcomes. However, the pathogenesis of HPeV3 infection remains unclear, which explains the lack of specific antiviral therapy and effective prevention measures. Maternal antibodies are important in protection against severe HPeV3-related disease, and this may be a clue regarding its pathogenesis. HPeV3 epidemics are likely to continue, and because the clinical manifestations of HPeV3 are severe, determining the pathogenesis of HPeV3 infection and establishing specific antiviral therapies are important goals for future research.
