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.
