Necropsy showed acute inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cord, parietal and frontal cerebral lobes, midbrain, pons, medulla, and cerebellum. There was neuronophagia and perivascular cuffing by mixed inflammatory cells, severe haemorrhage and oedema in both lungs, with mild hyaline membrane formation and no notable inflammation. Her heart was mildly hypertrophic without inflammation or necrosis. Liver showed a mild microvescicular fatty change. Enterovirus 71 was isolated from brain; medulla; cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal cords as well as from rectal and throat swabs. No virus was isolated from blood, lung, liver, heart, or pancreas.Enterovirus 71 can cause a wide spectrum of diseases, including hand, foot, and mouth disease; aseptic meningitis; encephalitis; and acute flaccid paralysis. 1–4 However, acute fatal pulmonary oedema after enterovirus 71 infection have not been previously reported. Clinical manifestations and necropsy findings in this case show that direct invasion of spinal cord and medulla by enterovirus 71 was probably the cause of pulmonary oedema; other causes such as overwhelming viraemia, pneumonia with subsequent adult respiratory distress syndrome, and myocarditis are less likely because there was no evidence of disseminated viraemia, pneumonia, or myocarditis.
