Nosocomial Transmission of Echovirus 30: Molecular Evidence by Phylogenetic Analysis of the VP1 Encoding Sequence
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
We investigated six cases of enterovirus infection in a neonatal unit. The index patient, a 5-day-old boy, was admitted with aseptic meningitis due to echovirus 30 (E30). Secondary infections with E30 occurred in five babies. Comparison of the complete VP1 sequences showed that the isolates recovered from the index patient and his mother were closely related to those recovered from the five babies with secondary...
