Enterovirus D68, a virus causing respiratory illness, is increasing in cases according to recent wastewater analysis. It affects both children and adults, with children at higher risk of complications like severe breathing problems and acute flaccid myelitis. Symptoms range from mild cold-like signs to paralysis. The virus spreads through respiratory secretions and contact with infected feces or surfaces. Treatment for mild symptoms includes rest and fluids, but serious symptoms require medical attention. Prevention methods include hand hygiene, covering mouth while coughing, disinfecting surfaces, and avoiding sharing items. Currently, there are no vaccines available for prevention. Stay home if feeling unwell to prevent transmission.
