human parechovirus

Human parechovirus (HPeV) is a common virus that infects people, especially young children, and can cause symptoms like fever, rashes, diarrhea, or respiratory issues. Most infections are mild and resolve without treatment, but in some cases, especially in infants or those with weakened immune systems, it can lead to more serious problems such as seizures or inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The virus spreads through contact with infected droplets or bodily fluids. There is no specific antiviral treatment, so managing symptoms and preventing transmission through good hygiene are important.
