Abstract

A study was made on a case of generalized muscular hypotonus manifested at birth. Serological findings and epidemiological data suggested association with a recently described enterovirus infection (enterovirus candidate 71) known to cause neurological disease in man. Autopsy revealed cerebral malformations and generalized myopathy compatible with a viral etiology of the disease.
