Population

6 cases of enterovirus infection in a neonatal unit, including a 5-day-old boy (index patient) with aseptic meningitis due to echovirus 30 and 5 babies with secondary infections.

Intervention

Phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 encoding sequence

Outcome

Nosocomial transmission of echovirus 30

Phylogenetic analysis of VP1 sequences confirmed nosocomial transmission of echovirus 30 in a neonatal unit.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Highlights nosocomial echovirus risk in neonatal units; case report leaves open broader applicability of VP1 sequencing for transmission tracking.
