Most enterovirus infections are asymptomatic or present with mild cold-like symptoms. Though, due to the multitude of enterovirus species the clinical presentation in severe symptomatic diseases is of broad variety. [clinical.r-biopharm.com]

To identify evidence of any past viral infections in AFM patients, the researchers adapted a method developed by Elledge that uses bacteriophages to collect antibodies present in a sample, in this case, the patients’ spinal fluid. [the-scientist.com]

This demonstrates that the amount of virus present in these tissues is low and needs further amplification in order to be detected. [diabetes.diabetesjournals.org]

Management and treatment There is no specific curative treatment for EV maternal or congenital infection. Prognosis Prognosis of mild congenital EV infections is quite good if reanimation procedures are available. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Prognosis of mild congenital EV infections is quite good if reanimation procedures are available. Prognosis of severe congenital EV infections is poor and the disease has been reported to be fatal. [orpha.net]

In most cases, the prognosis (outcomes) of enterovirus infections is good with no complications; however, the prognosis worsens as the severity of infection increases and when complications develop. [medicinenet.com]

“While continued vigilance for other possible etiologies of AFM is warranted, together, our combined [results support] the notion that EV infection likely underlies the majority of AFM cases tested in this study,” the authors write in their paper, which [the-scientist.com]
