Overview

Year-round RV circulation in Singapore supports ongoing surveillance; leaves open questions on serotype-specific burden and vaccine needs.

Structured PICO

P
Population
2950 nasal swab samples collected from adults presenting to primary care services with signs of febrile illness in Singapore during 2007-2013
I
Intervention
Retrospective screening using sequencing and phylogenetic methods
O
Outcome
Genetic diversity and patterns of circulation of rhinoviruses (RV) and enteroviruses (EV)

The study highlights the previously unrecognized diversity and burden of rhinoviruses and enteroviruses in the adult population in Singapore.
