Two More U.S. Deaths Linked to Polio-Like Enterovirus D-68

The U.S. death toll from the mysterious Enterovirus D-68, which primarily strikes young children, has reached eleven.

The latest CDC update on the current outbreak of the polio-like Enterovirus D-68 states that it has now been detected "in specimens from eleven patients who died and had samples submitted for testing." That's two more death than was disclosed in last week's update. The CDC account does not provide information as to where the patients died and does not disclose his/her names, ages or other details.

From mid-August to November 6, 2014, CDC or state public health laboratories have confirmed a total of 1,116 people in 47 states and the District of Columbia with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. That's eleven more than last week.

The respiratory illness can cause paralysis. The outbreak is likely more widespread than reported since some states are not lab testing all respiratory illnesses to confirm. Most cases are said to be mild.

[quote]Almost all the confirmed cases this year of EV-D68 infection have been among children. Many of the children had asthma or a history of wheezing.--CDC[/quote]

Occasionally, the illness becomes deadly without apparent warning.
