Enterovirus isolation was attempted from samples obtained from aseptic meningitis-suspected patients in hospitals in Busan during 2002. Enteroviruses were found in 83 of 703 cases. Echovirus serotypes 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 25, 29, 30 were isolated in 72 cases while coxsackievirus serotypes B3 and B4 were isolated in 11 cases. The occurrence was found to be distributed from April thru November with the highest rate during June and July. The strains of Vero and HEp-2 of echovirus and coxsackievirus, respectively, are highly infectious. Age distribution of patients, 61 patients in Enteroviruses and 11 patients in coxsackievirus, respectively, occurred in 0 to 10 year-olds. The sex distribution of the patients is as follows, 52 males (62.7％), 31 females (37.3％). Occurrence rate was found to be higher in male patients. Electron micrograph of echovirus and coxsackievirus show that they are small nonenevolped, isometric-shaped viruses. Isolated RNA from strains of echovirus and coxsackievirus showing cytopathic effects were used to undergo nested PCR which resulted in a 437 bp single band in all the strains.
