Key result
Genomic sequencing identifies first US cases of enterovirus C109 in two children with respiratory disease.
Why the study?
The genomic sequences of enterovirus C109 had not been described in the United States prior to this study.
Case Report (n=2)
This study provides the first description of enterovirus C109 genomes in the United States.
Signals EV-C109 in US pediatric respiratory cases; extends surveillance data but leaves burden and role open.
The genomic sequences of two enterovirus C109 isolates (EV-C109 USA/FL/2016-21003 and EV-C109 USA/FL/2016-21002) were obtained during two separate case investigations of respiratory disease in two children. This marks the first description of EV-C109 genomes in the United States.

Ng et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Respiratory disease (n=2). Enterovirus C109 infection was evaluated on Genomic sequence of enterovirus C109. Genomic sequencing identified enterovirus C109 in two children with respiratory disease in Florida, representing the first description of EV-C109 genomes in the United States.
