In Italy in 2016, acute flaccid myelitis developed in a woman who had received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Enterovirus D68 viral genome was detected in respiratory and cerebrospinal fluid samples, and the viral protein 1 sequence clustered with lineage B3. Immunocompromised adults may be at risk for enterovirus D68-associated neurologic complications.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent advances in spinal cord imaging analysis have led to the development of a robust anatomic template and atlas incorporated into an open-source platform referred to as the Spinal Cord Toolbox. Using the Spinal Cord Toolbox, we sought to correlate measures of GM, WM, and cross-sectional area pathology on T2 MR imaging with motor disability in patients with acute flacc...

Enterovirus-D68 (EV-D68) has been presumed to be a major cause of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) since its cluster in 2014.1 Coxsackie virus (CV)-A10 causes hand-foot-mouth disease, herpangina, and non-specific febrile illnesses, whereas neurological complications are rare. We encountered child with AFM during an outbreak EV-D68 infection autumn 2018 CV-A10 RNA was detected from her stool. The pa...
