Abstract

To assess whether infants hospitalized after an apparently life-threatening event had an associated respiratory virus infection, we analyzed nasopharyngeal aspirates from 16 patients. Nine of 11 infants with positive virus results were infected by rhinoviruses. We detected the new genogroup of rhinovirus C in 6 aspirates.

Phylogenetic analysis of 5′ noncoding region and viral protein (VP) 4/2 coding region of 9 human rhinoviruses (HRVs) identified in infants with apparently life-threatening events in Spain, November 2004–December 2008. Phylogeny of nucleotide sequences (≈492 bp) was reconstructed with neighbor-joining analysis by applying a Jukes-Cantor model; scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site. Included for reference are sequences belonging to the novel genotype reported previously (QPM and 024, 025, 026 [11]) and all HRV-A and -B serotypes available in GenBank. Significant bootstrapping is indicated.
