==Overview==
==Overview==
Enterovirus produces mild upper respiratory symptoms and is most common in children. Enterovirus 68 is associated with a low mortality, but complications such as severe [[pneumonia]] and superimposed infections may occur in almost one-fifth of infected patients.
The [[Natural history of disease|natural history]] of [[Enterovirus 68]] is poorly understood due to scarcity of data. The [[virus]] may produce a spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from an [[asymptomatic]] course to severe [[respiratory]] and [[neurological illness]] necessitating hospitalization. [[Prognosis]] is generally good, but few reports of fatalities have been documented. Approximately 16-21% of patients suffer from [[enterovirus 68]]-associated [[complications]]. Common [[complications]], such as superimposed infections and severe [[pneumonia]] requiring [[mechanical ventilation]], are more likely to occur among patients with a history of [[pulmonary disease]].


==Natural History==
==Natural History==
*Enterovirus 68 enters the body through the oral and nasal cavity through respiratory droplets and colonizes the respiratory mucosa.
*[[Enterovirus 68]] colonizes the respiratory mucosa. It is believed to be transmitted through respiratory droplets and is often detected by [[nasopharyngeal]] swabs of patients presenting with respiratory illness. Nonetheless, the [[incubation period]] of the [[virus]] is unknown.
*Enterovirus 68 infection usually affects children, but can also cause mild respiratory symptoms in adult patients.<ref name="JacobsonRedd2012">{{cite journal|last1=Jacobson|first1=Lara M.|last2=Redd|first2=John T.|last3=Schneider|first3=Eileen|last4=Lu|first4=Xiaoyan|last5=Chern|first5=Shur-Wern W.|last6=Oberste|first6=M.

*The [[virus]] has been isolated among patients of all age groups, ranging from 1 month to 72 years. Although 4 to 5-year-old children are believed to be the most susceptible hosts, accounting for approximately 80% of all reported cases, newer reports are currently noting more adult infections.<ref name="pmid21802981">{{cite journal| author=Rahamat-Langendoen J, Riezebos-Brilman A, Borger R, van der Heide R, Brandenburg A, Schölvinck E et al.| title=Upsurge of human enterovirus 68 infections in patients with severe respiratory tract infections. | journal=J Clin Virol | year= 2011 | volume= 52 | issue= 2 | pages= 103-6 | pmid=21802981 | doi=10.1016/j.jcv.2011.06.019 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21802981  }} </ref><ref name="pmid22694903">{{cite journal| author=Tokarz R, Firth C, Madhi SA, Howie SR, Wu W, Sall AA et al.| title=Worldwide emergence of multiple clades of enterovirus 68. | journal=J Gen Virol | year= 2012 | volume= 93 | issue= Pt 9 | pages= 1952-8 | pmid=22694903 | doi=10.1099/vir.0.043935-0 | pmc=PMC3542132 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22694903  }} </ref><ref name="JacobsonRedd2012">{{cite journal|last1=Jacobson|first1=Lara M.|last2=Redd|first2=John T.|last3=Schneider|first3=Eileen|last4=Lu|first4=Xiaoyan|last5=Chern|first5=Shur-Wern W.|last6=Oberste|first6=M.

Overview

The natural history of Enterovirus 68 is poorly understood due to scarcity of data. The virus may produce a spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from an asymptomatic course to severe respiratory and neurological illness necessitating hospitalization. Prognosis is generally good, but few reports of fatalities have been documented. Approximately 16-21% of patients suffer from enterovirus 68-associated complications. Common complications, such as superimposed infections and severe pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation, are more likely to occur among patients with a history of pulmonary disease.

Natural History

Complications

Complications are observed among 16-21% of patients diagnosed with enterovirus 68. The majority of patients with complications have a history of pulmonary or systemic co-morbidities.[7] Complications that can develop as a result of infection with enterovirus 68 are:

    • Lymphocytic meningomyelitis and encephalitis were both reported in only 1 case of a previously healthy 5-year-old boy
  • Death[10]
    • Death due to enterovirus 68-associated complications is documented among both children and adults, but is considered a very rare event

Prognosis
