Highlights the emergence of EV-D68 in the Netherlands and supports the necessity of routine respiratory virus screening.
EV-D68 emergence in the Netherlands may warrant surveillance; leaves open utility of routine respiratory virus screening.
We observed an increase of EV-D68 infections in our population, both in children as well as in adult. In 2014 there have been 16 cases so far, compared to none in 2011 and 2013 and a single case in 2012. Phylogenetic analysis identified two similar clusters as shown in the USA and Canada.
