Enterovirus D68 B3 subclade circulated in Maryland in late 2021, associated with a spike in influenza-like illness.
We report enterovirus D68 circulation in Maryland, USA, during September-October 2021, which was associated with a spike in influenza-like illness. The characterized enterovirus D68 genomes clustered within the B3 subclade that circulated in 2018 in Europe and the United States.

Fall et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Influenza-like illness (enterovirus/rhinovirus infection) (n=280). Enterovirus D68 infection vs. Other enterovirus/rhinovirus infections was evaluated on Proportion of EV-D68 among enterovirus/rhinovirus-typed genomes. Enterovirus D68 accounted for 27% of total enterovirus/rhinovirus-typed genomes during a spike of influenza-like illness in Maryland in September-October 2021, a marked increase from 2019 and 2020.
