Many children in the United States were infected by
enterovirus-68 last year, the majority of which displayed a slightly more
severe set of common cold symptoms including runny nose, sneezing, and
coughing. Unfortunately, more than 100 of these children were also plagued by
acute flaccid myelitis, leaving one or more of their limbs unable to function. Acute
is in the name of the condition, suggesting the potential of recovery; however,
while the conditions of some are slowly improving with physical therapy, there
have been little to no cases in which the child has completely recovered.
At this point, researchers and epidemiologists are trying to
elucidate the underlying similarities between children afflicted with the myelitis
in order to see what is causing this debilitating condition. Based on MRI
analysis, the condition looks extremely similar to polio; there is damage to a
distinct region on the spinal cord, conferring a similar clinical syndrome. Because
enterovirus-68 and poliovirus are within the same family (picornaviridae) and
share many biological and morphological characteristics, an enterovirus-68
induced paralysis seems very plausible. But while there appears to be a
striking epidemiological correlation between enterovirus-68 and the recent
cases of acute flaccid myelitis in support of this, there has been no tangible
biological link found implicating the virus. It was not found in the blood,
spinal fluid, nor stool of affected individuals. Nevertheless, many researchers
are determined to prove the virus’ role in the paralytic condition. In
addition, the CDC is preparing a long-term study for the 112 infected children in
order to track the progression of the disease and the potential for treatment.
