Laboratory findings in an enterovirus 68 infection include a positive [[PCR] assay of a nasopharyngeal swab specimen or viral culture. [[Serology]] tests have a low specificity for the diagnosis of enterovirus 68.
Patients with EV-D68 infection often have [[leukocytosis]] with [[lymphocyte]] predominance. [[Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction]] ([[RT-PCR]]) assay of an oral or nasopharyngeal swab is usually positive. Viral culture is less likely to be ordered, but will often show positive results for the infective agent. [[Serology]] tests have a low [[sensitivity]] for the diagnosis of EV-D68 infection.

Overview

Patients with EV-D68 infection often have leukocytosis with lymphocyte predominance. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay of an oral or nasopharyngeal swab is usually positive. Viral culture is less likely to be ordered, but will often show positive results for the infective agent. Serology tests have a low sensitivity for the diagnosis of EV-D68 infection.

Laboratory Findings

Cerebrospinal fluid

  • ED-V68 is rarely present in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Nonetheless, it has been previously reported among 1 patient who had unusual neurological symptoms due to EV-D68.

PCR

  • Enterovirus 68 is diagnosed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing.
  • RT-PCR assay is conducted to target the 5'-nontranslated region, followed by partial sequencing of the structural protein genes, VP4-VP2, VP1, or both. RT-PCR provides definitive enterovirus type-specific information. [5]

Serology

  • Detection of IgM levels or an increase in the IgG levels may also be performed to diagnose EV-D68 infection with a low sensitivity. Thus, this test is not routinely performed to diagnose EV-D68. [6]
