2 Enterovirus Surveillance- United States, Occurs in Peaks 26 reports 11 in 2003 Most common age group 1-4 years 25% were 20 years 50% were outside of summer-fall 47 th most common enterovirus Increased detection in Japan, Philippines, China, Netherlands, United States True peak vs. increased utilization of PCR Khetsuriani N et al. MMWR Ostroff SM et al. MMWR Occurs in Peaks and is Under Recognized 2014 Outbreak High prevalence of antibodies Peak years occur Smura T et al. J Med Virol Meijer A et al. Virology Recognition of the CMH Outbreak Increase in Severe Respiratory Illness August 15 August 19 August 20 August 21 Recognition of cases of severe respiratory tract disease in the ED Laboratory recognition of increased enterovirus/ rhinovirus (EV/RV) respiratory pathogen panel (RPP) CDC contacted for further specimen typing Institutional Response Team established Case definition established 2
