Abstract
Persistent Human Metapneumovirus Infection in Immunocompromised Child
Highlights
In Canada, cardiovirus isolates related to Saffold virus were detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates from 3 children with respiratory symptoms
Our findings suggest a pathogenic role for SAF-V-like viruses in humans
The polyprotein sequences of the Can112051-06 strain and the original US strain were related, the EF and CD loop structures varied substantially (61.8% and 67.5% aa identities, respectively)
Summary
In Canada, cardiovirus isolates related to Saffold virus were detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates from 3 children with respiratory symptoms. A new cardiovirus provisionally named Saffold virus (SAF-V) was isolated from a stool sample of an 8-month-old girl with fever [10]. Saffold Cardioviruses in Children, Canada human respiratory syncytial virus, and human metapneumovirus) [11] as well as RT-PCR assays for enteroviruses and parechoviruses [12]; results were negative.
