Abstract
In Reply.— Jenista et al1 found nonpolio enterovirus infection in 83% of febrile infants in the first month of life during July through October 1981 and suggested that some of the febrile neonates in our study2 also may have had enteroviral infection. Our study of fever was limited to full-term newborns in the first four days of life and we found no seasonal variation in incidence of fever. For 1979 v 1980 incidence of fever was: January, 0 v 5; February, 0 v 3; March, 0 v 11; April, 5 v 4; May, 8 v 7; June, 2 v 7; July, 3 v 2; August 5 v 3; September 7 v 7; October, 6 v 5; November, 5 v 0; December, 6 v 0.
