The 2014 EV-D68 outbreak in France primarily affected children, presenting mainly as asthma or bronchiolitis, with a notable proportion requiring intensive care.
Schuffenecker et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Enterovirus D68 infection (n=6,229). Enterovirus D68 infection was evaluated on EV-D68 positivity rate. During a 2014 surveillance in France, EV-D68 was detected in 5% of respiratory samples from hospitalized children and 1.1% from adults, with asthma and bronchiolitis as the main symptoms.
