Abstract

Here, the coding-complete genome of a human rhinovirus (HRV) belonging to the HRV-A clade was determined from a pool containing nine nasopharyngeal secretion specimens from hospitalized neonates. PCR screening indicated that this HRV variant was present in a cohort of 45 hospitalized neonates, with a positivity rate of 11.1% (5/45 patients).
