Abstract
The manifestations of HPeV infection vary from asymptomatic to serious conditions like meningitis, encephalitis, and neonatal sepsis.[1,2] While the infection is common among children, especially newborns, recent studies have demonstrated that HPeV can lead to severe cases of meningitis and encephalitis in adults.[3] We present the first cases of acute HPeV CNS infections from India, meningitis in an adult and meningoencephalitis in a paediatric patient.
