Abstract
Twenty-one respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) strains isolated from one outbreak in Havana, Cuba (1994 to 1995), were analyzed to determine t heir relatedness. All isolated strains were classified as subgroup A b y monoclonal antibodies. Of 21 RSV strains examined, 20 were classifie d as having restriction pattern NP4 and only 1 was classified as havin g restriction pattern NP5.
