dc.description.abstract	We report an outbreak of echovirus 6 meningitis in a neonatal intensive care unit in central Greece from July to August 2011. The most probable source of the outbreak was a mother; during hospitalization, her neonate was initially infected, followed by 7 more. Stricter infection control measures were implemented, and no other cases have been observed. Copyright (C) 2013 by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
