Abstract

The cases of aseptic meningitis treated at the Medical Centre Slavonska Požega during 1988 are presented. Judging from the number of patients (217), it may be said that there was an epidemy of this disease. The patients were hospitalized mostly during summer months. Most of them were young and there was no significant sex difference. The clinical picture of the disease was mild or moderate in most cases. In some patients enteroviri were isolated from liquor or stool. One patient suffered from meningitis with parotitis and one had meningitis with herpes zoster. On the ground of the clinical picture, the season of occurrence and serological tests, it may be concluded that in all other cases meningitis was of enteroviral etiology.
