Study summary

This study is being done to learn more about enterovirus infections detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients at CHU de Brest. Researchers will analyze medical records and laboratory data collected between 2018 and 2024. They will look at how these infections present in patients, and whether a specific virus type, called Echo-9, may be associated with different clinical features or represent an emerging variant.
