Article Synopsis
- Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections can cause severe respiratory issues and acute flaccid myelitis, with a significant rise reported during the fall-winter season of 2021-2022 across Europe.
- The study by the European Non-Polio Enterovirus Network (ENPEN) analyzed over 10,481 samples from 19 countries, identifying 1,004 as EV-D68, predominantly affecting young children, where 37.9% required hospitalization.
- Additionally, genetic analyses uncovered two new B3-derived lineages without regional patterns, indicating a notable impact of the infections and the emergence of new virus strains.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in a French university hospital investigated the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic children who were routinely screened before surgery during the pandemic.
- The retrospective analysis included 816 test samples, revealing a low prevalence of 0.49% positivity, with half of the positive cases linked to close contacts with adults who were infected.
- The findings suggest that asymptomatic children had a low rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the initial phases of the pandemic in France.
In May 2019, a measles outbreak occurred in the French subregion of Loire-Atlantique, particularly affecting Roma settlements.

- Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with infliximab or vedolizumab showed a COVID-19 prevalence similar to the general French population before vaccinations, with only 4.5% confirmed cases.
- Factors increasing COVID-19 risk included using public transport and living in urban settings, while treatment type or disease activity did not affect infection rates.
- Recommendations suggest that maintaining sanitary barrier measures is essential for IBD patients on biological therapies to minimize the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
