Severe Hepatitis Associated with an Echovirus 18 Infection in an Immune-Compromised Adult
Severe Hepatitis Associated with an Echovirus 18 Infection in an Immune-Compromised Adult JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY Lefterova, M. I., Rivetta, C., George, T. I., Pinsky, B. A. 2013; 51 (2): 684-687Abstract

Additionally, we illustrate the utility of molecular methods for the detection and typing of enteroviral infections.
