Acute Flaccid Myelitis in the United States, August–December 2014: Results of Nationwide Surveillance

Abstract

Epidemiologic data suggest this AFM cluster was likely associated with the large outbreak of EV-D68-associated respiratory illness, although direct laboratory evidence linking AFM with EV-D68 remains inconclusive. Continued surveillance will help define the incidence, epidemiology, and etiology of AFM.
