echovirus (medicine)


echovirus
<virology> A group of human picornaviruses found in the gastrointestinal tract.

There are many inapparent infections, but certain of the serotypes are associated with fever, upper respiratory infections, aseptic meningitis and pericarditis.

Echo is derived from enteric cytopathic human orphan, where orphan implies that they are not associated with any disease, though some are now known to cause disease in humans.

Origin: Acronym of enteric cytopathogenic human orphan virus.
