*, Among the 19 healthy children from whom 19 RD and 19 HEp-2c derived isolates were obtained, thirteen showed heterotypic isolates while the remaining six contained the same virus type from RD and HEp-2c cell lines. The number of EV types specified by a star includes only one of the homotypic isolates recovered from the same child using RD and HEp-2c cell lines, respectively.
