PCR detection rates for serum and cerebrospinal fluid from neonates and young infants infected with human parechovirus 3 and enteroviruses

摘要

Background: Human parechovirus 3 (HPeV-3) and enteroviruses (EV) are commonly detected viruses in febrile neonates and young infants and are usually diagnosed by PCR. However, in this population, data on detection rates for samples from different anatomical sites are limited.
