“…The AFM variant of myelitis attracted significant attention in the USA during an outbreak in 2014 with subsequent outbreaks in 2016 and 2018. 7 These outbreaks have coincided with Enterovirus D68 circulation. [8][9][10][11] Of note, the cohort described in this manuscript is demographically similar to previously reported AFM cohorts within Median months from onset (P 25 , P 75 ) 0 (0, 0), n=31 0 (0, 0), n=31 0 (0, 0), n=12 0 (0, 0), n=16 the USA.…”

“…These syndromes, now referred to as acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), are characterized by acute onset of flaccid limb weakness with lesions in spinal cord gray matter (4). AFM has affected more than 500 individuals in the United States alone and exhibited predominantly biennial patterns since surveillance began in the United States (5) and in other countries (6). Although enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is thought to be a leading cause of AFM, comprehensive understanding of its cause is still incomplete (7).…”

“…In comparison, CDC confirmed 17 AFM cases in Colorado in 2018 and 11 in 2014 during peak years. Similarly, nationwide in the United States, 44 cases of AFM were confirmed in 24 states in 2022, compared with 238 in 42 states in 2018, 153 in 29 states in 2016, and 120 in 34 states in 2014, during peak years correlating with substantial EV-D68 circulation ( 24 ).…”
