TI  - Lack of association between infection with a novel human coronavirus (HCoV), 
      HCoV-NH, and Kawasaki disease in Taiwan.
PG  - 283-6
AB  - We investigated whether infection with a novel human coronavirus (HCoV), called 
      "New Haven coronavirus" (HCoV-NH)--which is similar to and likely represents the 
      same species as another novel HCoV, HCoV-NL63--is associated with Kawasaki 
      disease (KD) in Taiwan. Fifty-three patients with KD were enrolled in our study. 
      Serum, peripheral-blood mononuclear cells, nasopharyngeal aspirates, throat 
      swabs, and rectal swabs from these patients were assayed for HCoV-NL63 by 
      real-time reverse-transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the 
      throat swabs, nasopharyngeal aspirates, and rectal swabs were also assayed for 
      HCoV-NH by RT-PCR. All PCR results were negative for both HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-NH; 
      therefore, we did not find any association between HCoV-NH infection and KD in 
      Taiwan.
