Overview

Unlike other enteroviruses, enterovirus 68 (EV-68) causes respiratory disease.

Pathogenesis

EV-68 belongs to the Human Enterovirus D species (HEV-D), along with EV-70 and EV-94. Unlike the remaining, EV-68 is acid-labile, which reduces its ability to colonize the gastrointestinal mucosa. It has been implicated in respiratory infections, and in rare occasions with CNS involvement. This characteristic of EV-68 sets its pathogenesis apart from that of other enteroviruses.[1]

Besides the cells of the respiratory mucosa, EV-68 also shows tropism for leukocytes. For that it uses receptors on the lymphocyte surface containing sialic-acid.[2] Since leukocytes are capable to migrate to other tissues, by infecting these cells, the virus gains access to secondary sites.[1] Viral replication inside leukocytes is likely to affect their function, thereby jeopardizing immune system response towards the virus, facilitating its spread.[3]

EV-68 also replicates inside endothelial cells. By infecting these cells, the virus is able to:[3]

However, EV-68 shows less tropism for endothelial cells than EV-70 or EV-94, which makes secondary site infections less common in EV-68 infection.[1]

Immune Response

The immune response towards EV-68 is not fully understood. Viral clearance is achieved by an adequate T and B-cell response that contain and eliminate the virus. B lymphocytes, along with tissue macrophages contain the pathogen, while T lymphocytes penetrate the areas of infection, causing tissue damage. Tissue damage may lead to cell death of the affected areas.[4]

Transmission

Due to being acid-labile, EV-68 is not shed in feces like other enteroviruses. Transmission of EV-68 is not as well-understood as that of other enteroviruses. EV-D68 causes respiratory disease, and the virus can be found in respiratory secretions such as saliva, nasal mucus, or sputum. The virus likely spreads from person to person, when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or touches contaminated surfaces.[5] Transmission of the virus was noted to occur more frequently between the months of August and November.[6]
