Abstract

We report a considerable increase in enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) cases since July 2024, culminating in an ongoing outbreak of acute respiratory infections in northern Italy, accounting for nearly 90% of all enterovirus infections. The outbreak was identified by community- and hospital-based surveillance systems, detecting EV-D68 in individuals with mild-to-severe respiratory infections. These strains belonged to B3 and a divergent A2 lineage. An increase in adult cases was observed. Enhanced surveillance and molecular characterisation of EV-D68 across Europe are needed.

2024 年 8 月至 9 月，意大利北部地区呼吸道感染实验室监测的加强披露了肠道病毒 D68 病例的快速上升。

我们报告了自 2024 年 7 月以来肠道病毒 D68（EV-D68）病例的大幅增加，最终导致意大利北部急性呼吸道感染的持续爆发，占所有肠道病毒感染病例的近 90%。疫情是通过社区和医院监控系统发现的，在轻度至重度呼吸道感染患者中检测到了 EV-D68。这些毒株属于 B3 和 A2 分支。据观察，成人病例有所增加。需要在整个欧洲加强对 EV-D68 的监测和分子特征描述。

期刊介绍： Eurosurveillance is a European peer-reviewed journal focusing on the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention, and control of communicable diseases relevant to Europe.It is a weekly online journal, with 50 issues per year published on Thursdays. The journal includes short rapid communications, in-depth research articles, surveillance reports, reviews, and perspective papers. It excels in timely publication of authoritative papers on ongoing outbreaks or other public health events. Under special circumstances when current events need to be urgently communicated to readers for rapid public health action, e-alerts can be released outside of the regular publishing schedule. Additionally, topical compilations and special issues may be provided in PDF format.
