VERTICAL TRANSMISSION OF HUMAN ECHOVIRUS 11 AT THE TIME OF BORNHOLM DISEASE IN LATE PREGNANCY

Abstract
We report a case of human echovirus 11 infection in a neonate at the time of Bornholm disease in late pregnancy of the mother. Mother and baby were found to be infected with the same virus, with a combination of diagnostic virologic techniques, demonstrating likely transmission from mother to baby around the time of delivery.
