BACKGROUND Neonatal enterovirus (EV) infections lead to a wide range of clinical manifestations, from mild febrile illness to severe, sometimes fatal, sepsislike disease. METHODS To determine the relationship of EV serotypes with the risk of neonatal infection and its fatal outcome, we analyzed data reported to the National Enterovirus Surveillance System (NESS) during 1983-2003. RESULTS Of the 26,737 EV detections reported during this period, neonates accounted for 2544 (11.4% of those with known age). Serotypes most commonly isolated from neonates included echovirus (E) 11 (14.0% of EV with known serotype), coxsackievirus (CV) B2 (8.9%), CVB5 (7.5%), E6, E9 and CVB4 (6.8% each). CVB1-4, E11, and E25 were significantly more common, whereas CVA16, E4, E9, E21, E30, and human parechovirus 1 (formerly E22) were less common among neonates than among persons aged > or =1 month. Fatal outcome was noted for 3.3% of reports, with neonates at a higher risk of death than persons aged > or =1 month (11.5% versus 2.5%; odds ratio [OR] 5.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.3-7.8). Neonates infected with CVB4 were at a higher risk of death (OR 6.5; 95% CI = 2.4-17.7) than those infected with other EV. CONCLUSION EV are important neonatal pathogens associated with high risk of infection and death. Because of the limitations of the NESS (incomplete reporting, limited clinical data, bias towards more severe and younger cases), additional studies are needed to better evaluate the role of different EV in neonatal infections.

Enterovirus surveillance--United States, 1970-2005.

PROBLEM Enteroviruses are common human viruses associated with various clinical syndromes, from minor febrile illness to severe, potentially fatal conditions (e.g., aseptic meningitis, paralysis, myocarditis, and neonatal enteroviral sepsis). Multiple enterovirus serotypes exist. Individual serotypes have different temporal patterns of circulation and often are associated with different clinica...

The seasonality of nonpolio enteroviruses in the United States: Patterns and drivers

Nonpolio enteroviruses are diverse and common viruses that can circulate year-round but tend to peak in summer. Although most infections are asymptomatic, they can result in a wide range of neurological and other diseases. Many serotypes circulate every year, and different serotypes predominate in different years, but the drivers of their geographical and temporal dynamics are not understood. W...

Presence of Coronavirus, Enterovirus and Adenovirus in Municipal Wastewater as Indicators of the Prevalence of Associated Viral Infections in the Community

Background and purpose: Adenoviruses and enteroviruses as intestinal viruses are detected in wastewater. Fecal shedding of 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported in some studies. Therefore, determining the presence of these viruses in wastewater is important to maintain public health and helps in predicting and preventing viral infections in a community. Materials and methods: I...

A note from the editors: enterovirus D68 epidemiology in France and Germany-food for thought.

Worldwide emergence of enterovirus (EV) D68 causing severe respiratory illness particularly in children, between 2008 and 2014, has been described in numerous articles. In 2014, EV-D68 gained particular attention when a large outbreak in children, associated with severe respiratory illness and possible neurological illness, occurred in the United States [1-3]. This event triggered a number of s...
