Comparison of children hospitalized with enterovirus or human parechovirus (HPeV) detected in their cerebrospinal fluid revealed that HPeV infections presented with more persistent fever, irritability and feeding problems, more frequent leukopenia and lymphopenia and higher admission rates to high dependency or intensive care units. Few HPeV cases were followed up, further studies on long-term outcomes are needed.
