Human parechoviruses are a family of viruses closely related to enteroviruses, and associated with neonatal sepsis-like syndrome, respiratory symptoms and gastrointestinal infection. Here we present clinical details of two neonatal sepsis cases suspected to be caused by HPeV4 infection. The patients were hospitalized in October, 2012. No other causative agents were detected.
