LOINC description : Enterovirus and parechovirus are both in the family picornaviridae. Like enterovirus,
parechovirus is thought to be a potential cause of acute gastroenteritis in children,
as well as severe central nervous system infection in the neonatal period. It may
be underdiagnosed without testing. As a result, it has been recommended that, because
of common clinical presentations, real time PCR for both viruses should be performed,
especially in the case of atypical neonatal seizures. Annals of Neurology. Verboon-Maciolek
