Abstract

Non-polio enteroviruses are a common cause of childhood infections varying in symptomatology and severity. While infections with many of the enterovirus serotypes can be severe and even fatal, coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) has most commonly been associated with more mild disease. Here we present the detection of CVA10 in multiple organ tissues in the investigation of an infant death.
