Why the study?
Enterovirus co-infections have been rarely reported with the development of complications and severe clinical outcomes.
This case report documents the first known instance of a double infection with enteroviruses CVA6 and EV-D68, highlighting the potential for severe clinical outcomes such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and HFMD.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Alerts clinicians to EV co-infection in severe pediatric HFMD with respiratory failure; leaves open viral synergy and surveillance needs.
Sousa et al. (2021) studied this question.
