[Meningitis outbreak caused by Echovirus serotype 30 in the Valencian Community].

Detection of echovirus 30 in CSF and the epidemiological presentation of cases enabled determination of the etiology of the outbreak. This finding coincided in time with other outbreaks of echovirus 30 in Spain, a fact that may explain the epidemic situation in the Valencian Community during 2006. Establishment of a national surveillance network for monitoring systemic enterovirus infection would provide data on the circulation patterns and identify new emerging serotypes.
