Overview
The natural history of Enterovirus 68 is poorly understood due to scarcity of data. The virus may produce a spectrum of clinical disease, ranging from an asymptomatic course to severe respiratory symptoms necessitating hospitalization. Prognosis is generally good, but few reports of fatalities have been documented. Approximately 16-21% of patients suffer from enterovirus 68-associated complications. Common complications, such as superimposed infections and severe pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation, are more likely to occur among patients with a history of pulmonary disease.
Natural History
- Enterovirus 68 colonizes the respiratory mucosa. It is believed to be transmitted through respiratory droplets and is often detected by nasopharyngeal swabs of patients presenting with respiratory illness. Nonetheless, the incubation period of the virus is unknown.
- The virus has been isolated among patients of all age groups, ranging from 1 month to 72 years. Although 4 to 5-year-old children are believed to be the most susceptible hosts, accounting for approximately 80% of all reported cases, newer reports are currently noting more adult infections.[1][2][3]
- The clinical features of the virus are characterized by non-specific signs and symptoms including cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and other symptoms of bronchitis.[3][4][5][6]
- Symptoms generally self-resolve within 4-6 days of symptoms onset.
- The disease can progress in the minority of cases to pneumonia, asthma exacerbations, and severe respiratory distress. Patients may require hospitalization, oxygen supplementation, or less commonly mechanical ventilation. The majority of patients requiring intensive care hospitalization are those with a history of pulmonary disease, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, or lung transplantation.[3][4][5][6]
Complications
- Infection with EV-68 may be asymptomatic, or frequently cause cold-like symptoms.
- However, complications may be observed in 17% of cases[7], including severe pneumonia or co-infections with other pathogens, such as RSV, S. pneumoniae, CMV, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or Mycoplasma pneumoniae.[4]
- In rare cases, EV-68 causes disease of the CNS.[8][9]
Prognosis
- Most patients recover uneventfully.
- Asthmatic patient have an increased risk of developing severe disease.[10]
- One case report describes a fatal case of enterovirus 68 infection associated with pneumonia, flaccid paralysis and neurologic impairment. [11]
