Case Report (n=4)
A natural recombinant of coxsackievirus A2 was identified in a small cluster of children with respiratory symptoms, with a 50% mortality rate, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Raises concern for recombinant coxsackievirus threats in children; hypothesis-generating and requires larger surveillance studies.
A natural recombinant of coxsackievirus A2 was found in 4 children with respiratory symptoms in Hong Kong, China, during the summer of 2012. Two of these children died. Vigilant monitoring of this emerging recombinant enterovirus is needed to prevent its transmission to other regions.
