Rising EV-D68 seroprevalence may signal outbreak risk in Beijing; leaves open need for longitudinal surveillance elsewhere.
Cross-Sectional
Absolute Event Rate: 98.43% vs 89.43%
Anti-EV-D68 neutralization antibodies in the Beijing population remained low from 2012 to 2016 but increased significantly in 2017, indicating a high seroprevalence and potential risk of outbreaks.
Liu et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) exposure. Time period (2017) vs. Time period (2012) was evaluated on Seroprevalence of EV-D68. The seroprevalence of enterovirus D68 in a healthy Beijing population increased from 89.43% in 2012 to 98.43% in 2017.
