German M, Olsha R, Kristjanson E, Marchand-Austin A, Peci A, Winter AL, Gubbay JB.
Abstract
We examined which respiratory pathogens were identified during screening for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in 177 symptomatic travelers returning to Ontario, Canada, from regions affected by the virus. Influenza A and B viruses (23.1%) and rhinovirus (19.8%) were the most common pathogens identified among these travelers.
