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.
Enterovirus 68 may produce a spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from an asymptomatic course to severe respiratory symptoms 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.

Overview

Enterovirus 68 may produce a spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from an asymptomatic course to severe respiratory symptoms 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

  • Enterovirus 68 enters the body through the oral and nasal cavity through respiratory droplets and colonizes the respiratory mucosa.
  • Enterovirus 68 infection usually affects children, but can also cause mild respiratory symptoms in adult patients.[1]
  • The infection starts with symptoms such as cough, fever, difficulty breathing, and wheezing.[2][3][4]
  • The disease can progress to severe respiratory distress and patients may require oxygen supplementation and hospital admission. Patients usually stay from 1 to 6 days in the hospital.[1] [4]
  • The symptoms typically develop 1 week after exposure to an ill contact.[1]

Complications

Prognosis

  • Most patients recover uneventfully.
  • Asthmatic patient have an increased risk of developing severe disease.[8]
  • One case report describes a fatal case of enterovirus 68 infection associated with pneumonia, flaccid paralysis and neurologic impairment. [9]
