Alerts clinicians to test for EV-A71/EV-D68 in severe pediatric neurological cases; leaves open questions on causality and prevention.
Antona et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Severe paediatric conditions linked with enterovirus (EV)-A71 and EV-D68 (n=59). Enterovirus (EV)-A71 and EV-D68 infection was evaluated on Severe neurological symptoms and EV sequence-based typing. Among 59 children with severe conditions linked to enteroviruses, 52 had severe neurological symptoms, with EV-A71 detected in 21 cases and EV-D68 in 8 cases.
