Testing Guidelines for Patients with AFP/AFM or Other Acute Neurological Presentations of Possible Viral Cause Persons of any age presenting with AFM, or any child less than 15 years of age with AFP should have laboratory investigations to detect a viral [publichealthontario.ca]

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]

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]

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]

• Tachycardia

  Signs of complicated EV71 infections include the following: Myoclonic jerks, particularly in sleep Urinary retention Ataxia, weakness, or any focal neurological signs Hypertension and/or bradycardia Severe, unexplained or persistent tachycardia or poor [health.nsw.gov.au]

Diagnosis and Treatment Although a laboratory test can detect enterovirus, most diagnoses are made on the basis of symptoms. Treatment for enterovirus means managing the symptoms until the infection clears. [intermountainhealthcare.org]

Treatment There are no specific treatments or antiviral medications for people with illness caused by EV-D68. If symptoms become severe enough, infected people may need to be hospitalised. [health.govt.nz]

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]

While a lot of work still remains to fully determine the etiological agents that cause acute flaccid myelitis/paralysis, JCVI scientists continue to characterize EV-D68 pathogenesis and its disease phenotype. [jcvi.org]
