Laboratory assay overview
Enteroviruses are among the most common viruses infecting humans and are associated with diverse clinical syndromes ranging from minor febrile illness to severe, potentially fatal conditions (e.g., aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, paralysis, myocarditis, and neonatal enteroviral sepsis) and could be linked with the development of some chronic diseases (e.g., type 1 diabetes and dilated cardiomyopathy). Each year, an estimated 10 to 15 million symptomatic enterovirus infections occur in the United States.
