Description:In the fall of 2014, an outbreak of enteroVirus D68 (EV-D68)-associated acute respiratory illness (ARI) occurred in the United States (1,2); before 2014, EV-D68 was rarely reported to CDC (2,3). In the United States, reported EV-D68 detections typically peak during late summer and early fall (3). EV-D68 Epidemiology is not fully understood because tTesting in clinical settings seldom has been available and detections are not notifiable to CDC. To better understand EV-D68 Epidemiology, CDC recently established active, prospective EV-D68 Surveillance among pediatric patients at seven U.S. medical centers through the New Vaccine Surveillance Network (NVSN) (4). This report details a preliminary characterization of EV-D68 tTesting and detections among emergency department (ED) and hospitalized patients with ARI at all NVSN sites during July 1-October 31, 2017, and the same period in 2018. Among patients with ARI who were tested, EV-D68 was detected in two patients (0.8%) in 2017 and 358 (13.9%) in 2018. Continued active, prospective Surveillance of EV-D68-associated ARI is needed to better understand EV-D68 Epidemiology in the United States
