Our results suggest that HCoV-HKU1 could be associated with respiratory and enteric diseases, and its detection can be related to a persistent asymptomatic infection in patients with poor underlying conditions. For 2 patients with results positive for detection of HCoV-HKU1 in respiratory specimens, stool samples obtained at the same time were available and have been tested. To eliminate cell culture contamination, the N gene HCoV-HKU1 RT-PCR was performed directly on the respiratory specimens obtained from the 6 patients. Patient 6, who tested positive for HCoV-HKU1, had an influenza C virus detected in the same clinical specimen. ./cache/cord-273840-jjm7y07m.txt ./txt/cord-273840-jjm7y07m.txt
