Overview

Differential Diagnosis
Enterovirus 68 infection must be differentiated from other diseases that produce symptoms such as fever, runny nose, sneezing, cough, malaise, chest pain, and diarrhea. Any viral upper respiratory infection must be included in the differential diagnosis of enterovirus 68 infection, and a definitive diagnosis is commonly achieved by PCR assay of a nasopharingeal or oral swab specimen[1][2]
