Enterovirus infection and acute flaccid myelitis

Current Opinion in Virology, 2020
Recent outbreaks of limb paralysis similar to poliomyelitis, termed acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), have prompted intense investigation into potential etiology. Peaks of AFM were seen in the United States in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018, coincident with peaks in enterovirus transmission, particularly EV-D68.

A widespread incidence of such cases in the United States in 2014 led to the coining of this new term. The features of AFM include a rapid onset of asymmetric extremity weakness with a proximal predominance that nadirs in 2–3 days ...
