Enterovirus 68 (EV68) is a member of the [[Enterovirus]] genus of the [[Picornaviridae]] family. It is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, [[RNA virus#Single-stranded RNA viruses and RNA Sense|single-stranded RNA virus]]. It is detected more frequently among pediatric patients in the United States and other countries. While enteroviruses can cause a wide range of symptoms ranging from mild febrile illness to fatal [[meningitis]] and [[encephalitis]], EV68 is mostly associated with acute respiratory symptoms. In 2014, EV68 was isolated from 2 children with a [[polio]]-like [[flaccid paralysis]]; however, the virus could not be isolated among 3 other kids with a similar presentation. | Enterovirus 68 (EV68) is a member of the [[Enterovirus]] genus of the [[Picornaviridae]] family.

Overview
Enterovirus 68 (EV68) is a member of the Enterovirus genus of the Picornaviridae family. It is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. It is detected more frequently among pediatric patients in the United States and other countries. While enteroviruses can cause a wide range of symptoms ranging from mild febrile illness to fatal meningitis and encephalitis, EV68 is mostly associated with acute respiratory symptoms. In 2014, EV68 was isolated from 2 children with a polio-like flaccid paralysis; however, the virus could not be isolated among 3 other kids with a similar presentation.
