What are the symptoms of enterovirus D68?

Children and teens are more likely to have noticeable symptoms of EV-D68 because they haven’t had time to build up immunity to the virus.

EV-D68 typically causes mild cold-like symptoms, such as:

  • Cough.
  • Fever.
  • Muscle pain or body aches.
  • Runny nose and sneezing.

People who have asthma or weak immune systems may develop more severe symptoms. With these conditions, you or your child might have wheezing and difficulty breathing. These symptoms require prompt medical attention.
