In our laboratory, a real-time quantitative PCR was designed and evaluated in several patient samples and compared with isolation results. Genomic viral load was related to virus viability.

ABSTRACT

We provide epidemiologic features of cases reported in Spain and the coordinated measures taken to respond to this outbreak.
