Abstract

ABSTRACTEnterovirus 68 was detected in 10 respiratory specimens from pediatric patients hospitalized for acute wheezing or bronchitis during 2009 in the northeast of France. Viral loads ranged from 2 × 105to 7.2 × 107copies/ml. Alignment of 5' nontranslated regions and phylogenetic analysis of partial VP1 gene sequences show that these viruses clustered and belonged to clade C.
