  1. aReverse-transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) was conducted on patient samples at the Victorian Infectious Disease Reference Laboratory (VIDRL) for diagnostic detection of HPeV and enterovirus. P indicates a positive result for HPeV. All patients shown were positive for HPeV and negative for enterovirus. It should be noted that sample/patient CS-XX-16009 is “missing” in the Table as that sample turned out to be negative for HPeV but positive for enterovirus and therefore not included in the studies described here.
