The CDC recently issued a health advisory regarding the respiratory illness after doctors across the country reported an increase in hospitalizations last month.
Dr. Charles Chiu reviews microscopic imagery in his lab at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco, Calif. on Friday, Feb. 24, 2017. Chiu has published findings on his research about the effects of paralysis in children with the Enterovirus D68The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is alerting pediatricians to be on the lookout for a rare, serious respiratory illness affecting children.
The virus is likely to spread from person to person through an infected person’s cough, sneeze or touch of a surface. The CDC urges people to protect themselves by properly washing hands and not touching the face. The CDC warns that infants, children and teenagers are more susceptible to the virus because they do not have immunity from previous exposure to enteroviruses. Children with asthma are also found to be at a higher risk for severe respiratory illness.The CDC said the last EV-D68 occurred in the U.S. during the summer and fall of 2014. From mid-August 2014 to January 15, 2015, CDC or state public health laboratories reported that 1,395 people contracted the illness.
Since then, CDC has reported high levels of cases during the late summer and early fall of 2016 and 2018, but at lower levels in 2015, 2017, and 2019.
