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 new variant of echovirus 11 has been identified as the cause of nine severe neonatal infections, primarily affecting male infants, with a notable occurrence among twins.
- The affected infants, aged 3-5 days at the time of illness, presented with severe sepsis and liver failure.
- This variant, discovered in France since April 2022, has led to an increase in fatal neonatal enterovirus infections compared to previous years, prompting calls for national and international health alerts.
We report a rapid increase in enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections, with 139 cases reported from eight European countries between 31 July and 14 October 2021. This upsurge is in line with the seasonality of EV-D68 and was presumably stimulated by the widespread reopening after COVID-19 lockdown. Most cases were identified in September, but more are to be expected in the coming months.

We described a sudden and unexpected death in a 5-month-old boy, with detection of both enterovirus and parechovirus RNA in the blood. This is the first report of a dual viraemia of enterovirus and parechovirus and its potential association with a sudden unexpected infant death.

Despite precautions to minimize the risk of release of PV from such facilities to the environment, breaches of containment have already been documented. Here, we report the management of an incident that occurred on 30 November 2018 in a French vaccine manufacturing plant.

Here we tested the impact of influenza virus on the pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic actions of a panel of S. aureus virulence factors, including Panton-Valentine Leucocidin (PVL), phenol-soluble modulin α1 (PSMα1) and 3 (PSMα3), α-hemolysin (Hla), and cell wall components, i.
