Title: Rhinovirus Outbreaks in Long-term Care Facilities, Ontario, Canada Cord-id: myjyw8ei Document date: 2010_9_25
ID: myjyw8ei
Snippet: Diagnostic difficulties may have led to underestimation of rhinovirus infections in long-term care facilities. Using surveillance data, we found that rhinovirus caused 59% (174/297) of respiratory outbreaks in these facilities during 6 months in 2009. Disease was sometimes severe. Molecular diagnostic testing can differentiate these outbreaks from other infections such as influenza.
