Is HPeV3 infection associated with increased disease severity, such as sepsis-like illness and central nervous system involvement, in neonates?
HPeV3 infection is associated with severe clinical presentations, including sepsis-like illness and central nervous system involvement, in neonates.
We report HPeV infections in young children during the period of 2000-2005 and show an association between HPeV3 infection and sepsis-like illness and central nervous system involvement in neonates.
Benschop et al. (2005) studied this question.
