Implication

HRV diversity data from Sydney extend Southern Hemisphere surveillance; leaves open questions on clinical impact and temporal shifts.

Structured PICO

Population

555 clinical samples (combined nose and throat swabs or nasopharyngeal aspirates) collected from individuals with influenza-like illness (ILI) in Sydney, Australia, from 2006 to 2009.

Intervention

Real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing of 5'UTR and VP4/VP2 coding regions

Outcome

Detection of HRV species and genotypes, and phylogenetic analysis

Human rhinovirus C is present in the Southern Hemisphere and is more prevalent in pediatric patients with influenza-like illness compared to adults.
