Highlights
To the Editor: Enteroviruses (EVs) are small, nonenveloped viruses of the family Picornaviridae [1]
We report the detection of EV-C117 in children in China and Mongolia with respiratory tract infections (RTIs)
During March 2007–March 2013, we screened for EV-C117 in respiratory samples from patients with RTIs in China and Mongolia, including nasopharyngeal aspirates collected from 3,108 children in China who had lower respiratory tract infections when they were admitted to Beijing Children’s Hospital [4] and swab samples from 2,516 patients in Mongolia with influenza-like illness
