T1 - Rhinovirus Outbreaks in Long-term Care Facilities, Ontario, Canada T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 9 SP - 1463 SN - 1080-6059 AB - 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.
