Snippet: Background: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has been implicated in outbreaks of severe respiratory illness and associated with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a disease which causes paralysis in previously healthy patients, mostly children. AFM peaked in even numbered years, at least 2014-2018. While 2020 was expected to be a peak AFM year, few cases were seen, likely due to non-specific social distancing measures due to SARS-CoV-2. EV-D68 is primarily described as a respiratory pathogen, in contrast to
Document: Background: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has been implicated in outbreaks of severe respiratory illness and associated with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a disease which causes paralysis in previously healthy patients, mostly children. AFM peaked in even numbered years, at least 2014-2018. While 2020 was expected to be a peak AFM year, few cases were seen, likely due to non-specific social distancing measures due to SARS-CoV-2. EV-D68 is primarily described as a respiratory pathogen, in contrast to 'classic' enteroviruses that are spread via the fecal-oral route. However, similar to other enteroviruses, EV-D68 has been detected in wastewater, suggesting it might also have an enteric route of transmission.
