Key result
The complete genome sequence of a novel human enterovirus C strain (EV-C118) was identified in respiratory specimens of two children with acute otitis media and community-acquired pneumonia.
Case Report (n=2)
This report provides the complete genome sequence of a novel human enterovirus C strain (EV-C118) isolated from pediatric patients with respiratory infections.
EV-C118 in pediatric respiratory cases leaves its pathogenic role open; extends enterovirus C genomic surveillance data.
The new enterovirus C strain EV-C118 belongs to the human enterovirus C species of the Picornaviridae family. We report the complete genome sequence of this strain, which was identified in respiratory specimens of two children hospitalized in Israel because of acute otitis media and community-acquired pneumonia who were enrolled in the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Pediatric Research Initiative (CAP-PRI) study.

Daleno et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Acute otitis media and community-acquired pneumonia (n=2). Human Enterovirus C (EV-C118) infection was evaluated on Complete genome sequence identification. The complete genome sequence of a novel human enterovirus C strain (EV-C118) was identified in respiratory specimens of two children with acute otitis media and community-acquired pneumonia.
