Low-level Circulation of Enterovirus D68-Associated Acute Respiratory Infections, Germany, 2014
Abstract:
We used physician sentinel surveillance to identify 25 (7.7%) mild to severe infections with enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in children and adults among 325 outpatients with acute respiratory infections in Germany during August-October 2014. Results suggested low-level circulation of enterovirus D68 in Germany. Viruses were characterized by sequencing viral protein (VP) 1 and VP4/VP2 genomic regions.
Insights
Physician surveillance detected 25 enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections in German outpatients with respiratory illness. This indicated low-level circulation of EV-D68 during August-October 2014.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Infectious Diseases
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe illness.
- Surveillance for EV-D68 is crucial for understanding its circulation and impact.
