Twelve specimens (2.3%) were positive by multiple assays. Six specimens yielded HMPV isolates. Four of the 6 isolates were of the uncommon B1 genotype. | Source Title: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181085 | ISSN: | 10806040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid1202.051133 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
