Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection has become one of the major threats to children globally in recent years. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) plays an essential role in host defense against EV71 infection. This study was designed to assess the possible association between the TLR3c.1377C/T polymorphism and disease severity in Chinese children with EV71 infection. The TLR3c.1377C/T gene polymorphism was identified in...
