CLINICAL, EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND ETIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENTEROVIRAL INFECTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS

The article analyzes the current state of human non-polio enteroviral infections in Belarus. The analysis includes clinical and epidemiologic features of the epidemic process, the dynamics of incidence over the past decade, the structure of clinical forms in various regions of the country, age groups, as well as an influence of seasonal factors on the enteroviral morbidity. The article contains the results of laboratory control of enterovirus circulation in the Republic of Belarus in 2016. The intensity of non-polio enterovirus (NPEV) circulation and the levels of environmental contamination were identified. The study describes the range and typical structure of NPEV circulating in the country in the period under review. The article contains the data of the phylogenetic analysis of new serotypes and genovariants.
