Rhinoviruses were detected as sole pathogens in 6 preterm infants who developed severe respiratory infections while hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. We confirmed 2 nosocomial rhinovirus transmission episodes and describe the genetic diversity of rhinovirus strains that circulated simultaneously during a winter season.
