Burden of disease and spectrum of illness from enterovirus-D68 infections in U.S. children 0-2 years of age from a longitudinal community-based cohort, 2017-2019.

Abstract

In this 2017-2019 community-based cohort, 245 healthy children were followed from birth to age two years. 46 EV-D68 infections were detected by nasal swabs, all between 08/2018-11/2018, with no detections in other study periods. 46% of infections met ARI criteria, of which 33% were medically attended; none required hospitalization.
