Central nervous system (CNS) viral infections are critical causes of morbidity and mortality in children; however, comprehensive data on etiology is lacking in developing countries such as Indonesia. To study the etiology of CNS infections in a pediatric population, 50 children admitted to two hospitals in Bandung, West Java, during 2017–2018 were enrolled in a CNS infection study. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum specimens were tested using molecular, serological, and virus isolation platforms for a number of viral and bacteriological agents. Causal pathogens were identified in 10 out of 50 (20%) and included cytomegalovirus (n = 4), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n = 2), tuberculosis (n = 2), Salmonella serotype Typhi (n = 1) and dengue virus (n = 1). Our study highlights the importance of using a wide range of molecular and serological detection methods to identify CNS pathogens, as well as the challenges of establishing the etiology of CNS infections in pediatric populations of countries with limited laboratory capacity. Author summary: Pediatric CNS infection is a high burden for public health in many developing countries including Indonesia where diagnostic capacity is limited. In this study we identify the clinical characteristics and etiology of CNS infection in 50 pediatric population from two hospitals in Indonesia. The data identified cytomegalovirus, dengue, Salmonella Typhi, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the etiology of infection while 80% of cases remain unidentified. The results are expected to raise awareness for policy makers to improve management and laboratory diagnosis of CNS infection in children. Further studies are required to identify contributing factors to the burden of CNS infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
