Enterovirus D-68 (EV-D68) has been confirmed in children from Northern Virginia, according to the Virginia Department of Health.
Lab results on Friday, through testing coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control, confirmed the cases in Northern Virginia, Denise C. Sockwell, M.S.P.H., CP-FS, Virginia Department of Health, Northern Region, said Monday.
Enterovirus-D68 resembles the flu or common cold but can be much more dangerous. There are no antiviral medications currently available for people who become infected with EV-D68. As of Monday, 594 people from 43 states have lab-confirmed Enterovirus D68, according to CDC statistics.
The virus has also been confirmed in the Central and Eastern regions of Virginia, Sockwell said. The first cases in Virginia confirmed by CDC lab results were seven children in the Richmond area, in September, according to news reports.
The Virginia Department of Health would not disclose the number of children in Northern Virginia who have tested positive or be more specific about the location of the confirmed cases.
The health department’s Northern Region includes the counties of: Arlington, Caroline, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, King George, Loudoun, Madison, Orange, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Warren; and the cities of: Alexandria, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Manassas Park, Winchester and the Towns of Dumfries, Haymarket, Herndon, Leesburg, Luray, Occoquan, Purcellville, Quantico, Sterling, Vienna and Warrenton.
“We do not have information about the exact number of children with EV-D68,” said Sockwell. “Infections with the virus are not reportable by law to the health department.”
