Intrafamilial Transmission of Parechovirus A and Enteroviruses in Neonates and Young Infants

Abstract

Similar to EVs, PeV-A was detected frequently in stool samples from family members of PeV-A-infected patients. Among family members with PeV-A-positive stool, adults were more likely than children to be asymptomatic and therefore could be an important source of PeV-A infection.
