Neutralizing antibody against enterovirus D68 in children and adults before 2014 outbreak, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Harrison CJ , Weldon WC , Pahud BA , Jackson MA , Oberste MS , Selvarangan R . Emerg Infect Dis 2019 25 (3) 585-588 We evaluated enterovirus D68 seroprevalence in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, from samples obtained during 2012-2013. Neutralizing antibodies against Fermon and the dominant 2014 Missouri isolate were universally detected. Titers increased with age. Widespread circulation of enterovirus D68 occurred before the 2014 outbreak. Research is needed to determine a surrogate of protection. |

Clin Infect Dis 2018 67 (4) 485-492 Background: During the 2014-2015 influenza season in the United States, 256 cases of influenza-associated parotitis were reported from 27 states. We conducted a case-control study and laboratory investigation to further describe this rare clinical manifestation of influenza. Methods: During February 2015-April 2015, we interviewed 50 cases (with parotitis) and 124 ill controls (without parotitis) with laboratory-confirmed influenza; participants resided in 11 states and were matched by age, state, hospital admission status, and specimen collection date. Influenza viruses were characterized using real-time polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing. We compared cases and controls using conditional logistic regression. Specimens from additional reported cases were also analyzed. Results: Cases, 73% of whom were aged <20 years, experienced painful (86%), unilateral (68%) parotitis a median of 4 (range, 0-16) days after onset of systemic or respiratory symptoms. Cases were more likely than controls to be male (76% vs 51%; P = .005). We detected influenza A(H3N2) viruses, genetic group 3C.2a, in 100% (32/32) of case and 92% (105/108) of control specimens sequenced (P = .22). Influenza B and A(H3N2) 3C.3 and 3C.3b genetic group virus infections were detected in specimens from additional cases. Conclusions: Influenza-associated parotitis, as reported here and in prior sporadic case reports, seems to occur primarily with influenza A(H3N2) virus infection. Because of the different clinical and infection control considerations for mumps and influenza virus infections, we recommend clinicians consider influenza in the differential diagnoses among patients with acute parotitis during the influenza season. |
Non-mumps viral parotitis during the 2014-2015 influenza season in the United States
Elbadawi LI , Talley P , Rolfes MA , Millman AJ , Reisdorf E , Kramer NA , Barnes JR , Blanton L , Christensen J , Cole S , Danz T , Dreisig JJ , Garten R , Haupt T , Isaac BM , Jackson MA , Kocharian A , Leifer D , Martin K , McHugh L , McNall RJ , Palm J , Radford KW , Robinson S , Rosen JB , Sakthivel SK , Shult P , Strain AK , Turabelidze G , Webber LA , Weinberg MP , Wentworth DE , Whitaker BL , Finelli L , Jhung MA , Lynfield R , Davis JP . Clin Infect Dis 2018 67 (4) 493-501 Background: During the 2014-2015 US influenza season, 320 cases of non-mumps parotitis (NMP) among residents of 21 states were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We conducted an epidemiologic and laboratory investigation to determine viral etiologies and clinical features of NMP during this unusually large occurrence. Methods: NMP was defined as acute parotitis or other salivary gland swelling of >2 days duration in a person with a mumps- negative laboratory result. Using a standardized questionnaire, we collected demographic and clinical information. Buccal samples were tested at the CDC for selected viruses, including mumps, influenza, human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) 1-4, adenoviruses, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) 1 and 2, and human herpes viruses (HHVs) 6A and 6B. Results: Among the 320 patients, 65% were male, median age was 14.5 years (range, 0-90), and 67% reported unilateral parotitis. Commonly reported symptoms included sore throat (55%) and fever (48%). Viruses were detected in 210 (71%) of 294 NMP patients with adequate samples for testing, >/=2 viruses were detected in 37 samples, and 248 total virus detections were made among all samples. These included 156 influenza A(H3N2), 42 HHV6B, 32 EBV, 8 HPIV2, 2 HPIV3, 3 adenovirus, 4 HSV-1, and 1 HSV-2. Influenza A(H3N2), HHV6B, and EBV were the most frequently codetected viruses. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that, in addition to mumps, clinicians should consider respiratory viral (influenza) and herpes viral etiologies for parotitis, particularly among patients without epidemiologic links to mumps cases or outbreaks. |
Severe parechovirus 3 infections in young infants - Kansas and Missouri, 2014
Midgley CM , Jackson MA , Selvarangan R , Franklin P , Holzschuh EL , Lloyd J , Scaletta J , Straily A , Tubach S , Willingham A , Nix WA , Oberste MS , Harrison CJ , Hunt C , Turabelidze G , Gerber SI , Watson JT . J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc 2017 7 (2) 104-112 Background: Infection with parechovirus type 3 (PeV3) can cause severe neurologic and sepsis-like illness in young infants; clinical and epidemiologic descriptions have been limited. We aimed to characterize PeV3 illness and explore risk factors for acquisition in a cluster of neonatal cases at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. Methods: Cerebrospinal fluid specimens were obtained from infants aged <180 days who were hospitalized with sepsis-like illness or meningitis between June 1 and November 1, 2014. PeV-positive specimens were sequenced at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We reviewed the medical and birth charts of the infants and performed face-to-face parent interviews. We analyzed characteristics according to infant age and intensive care admission status. Results: We identified 35 cases of PeV infection in infants aged 5 to 56 days. Seven infants required intensive care (median age, 11 days vs 27 days among those who did not require intensive care; P = .0044). Six of these 7 infants had neurologic manifestations consistent with seizures, and all 6 of them were treated with acyclovir but subsequently tested negative for herpes simplex virus. Virus sequences formed 2 lineages, both of which were associated with severe illness. Half of the infants were reported to have household contacts who were ill during the week before onset. Infants aged ≤7 days at onset were more likely to have been delivered at the same hospital. Conclusions: PeV3 can cause severe neurologic illness in neonates, and younger infants are more likely to require intensive care. PeV3 should be considered along with herpes simplex virus and other pathogens when evaluating young infants with sepsis-like illness or meningitis. More widespread testing for PeV3 would enable us to gain a better understanding of the clinical scope and circulation of this virus. |
Severe respiratory illness associated with a nationwide outbreak of enterovirus D68 in the USA (2014): a descriptive epidemiological investigation
Midgley CM , Watson JT , Nix WA , Curns AT , Rogers SL , Brown BA , Conover C , Dominguez SR , Feikin DR , Gray S , Hassan F , Hoferka S , Jackson MA , Johnson D , Leshem E , Miller L , Nichols JB , Nyquist AC , Obringer E , Patel A , Patel M , Rha B , Schneider E , Schuster JE , Selvarangan R , Seward JF , Turabelidze G , Oberste MS , Pallansch MA , Gerber SI . Lancet Respir Med 2015 3 (11) 879-87 BACKGROUND: Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has been infrequently reported historically, and is typically associated with isolated cases or small clusters of respiratory illness. Beginning in August, 2014, increases in severe respiratory illness associated with EV-D68 were reported across the USA. We aimed to describe the clinical, epidemiological, and laboratory features of this outbreak, and to better understand the role of EV-D68 in severe respiratory illness. METHODS: We collected regional syndromic surveillance data for epidemiological weeks 23 to 44, 2014, (June 1 to Nov 1, 2014) and hospital admissions data for epidemiological weeks 27 to 44, 2014, (June 29 to Nov 1, 2014) from three states: Missouri, Illinois and Colorado. Data were also collected for the same time period of 2013 and 2012. Respiratory specimens from severely ill patients nationwide, who were rhinovirus-positive or enterovirus-positive in hospital testing, were submitted between Aug 1, and Oct 31, 2014, and typed by molecular sequencing. We collected basic clinical and epidemiological characteristics of EV-D68 cases with a standard data collection form submitted with each specimen. We compared patients requiring intensive care with those who did not, and patients requiring ventilator support with those who did not. Mantel-Haenszel chi2 tests were used to test for statistical significance. FINDINGS: Regional and hospital-level data from Missouri, Illinois, and Colorado showed increases in respiratory illness between August and September, 2014, compared with in 2013 and 2012. Nationwide, 699 (46%) of 1529 patients tested were confirmed as EV-D68. Among the 614 EV-D68-positive patients admitted to hospital, age ranged from 3 days to 92 years (median 5 years). Common symptoms included dyspnoea (n=513 [84%]), cough (n=500 [81%]), and wheezing (n=427 [70%]); 294 (48%) patients had fever. 338 [59%] of 574 were admitted to intensive care units, and 145 (28%) of 511 received ventilator support; 322 (52%) of 614 had a history of asthma or reactive airway disease; 200 (66%) of 304 patients with a history of asthma or reactive airway disease required intensive care compared with 138 (51%) of 270 with no history of asthma or reactive airway disease (p=0.0004). Similarly, 89 (32%) of 276 patients with a history of asthma or reactive airway disease required ventilator support compared with 56 (24%) of 235 patients with no history of asthma or reactive airway disease (p=0.039). INTERPRETATION: In 2014, EV-D68 caused widespread severe respiratory illness across the USA, disproportionately affecting those with asthma. This unexpected event underscores the need for robust surveillance of enterovirus types, enabling improved understanding of virus circulation and disease burden. FUNDING: None. |
Severe enterovirus 68 respiratory illness in children requiring intensive care management
Schuster JE , Miller JO , Selvarangan R , Weddle G , Thompson MT , Hassan F , Rogers SL , Oberste MS , Nix WA , Jackson MA . J Clin Virol 2015 70 77-82 BACKGROUND: Enterovirus 68 (EV-D68) causes acute respiratory tract illness in epidemic cycles, most recently in Fall 2014, but clinical characteristics of severe disease are not well reported. OBJECTIVES: Children with EV-D68 severe respiratory disease requiring pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) management were compared with children with severe respiratory disease from other enteroviruses/rhinoviruses. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review was performed of all children admitted to Children's Mercy Hospital PICU from August 1-September 15, 2014 with positive PCR testing for enterovirus/rhinovirus. Specimens were subsequently tested for the presence of EV-D68. We evaluated baseline characteristics, symptomatology, lab values, therapeutics, and outcomes of children with EV-D68 viral infection compared with enterovirus/rhinovirus-positive, EV-D68-negative children. RESULTS: A total of 86 children with positive enterovirus/rhinovirus testing associated with respiratory symptoms were admitted to the PICU. Children with EV-D68 were older than their EV-D68-negative counterparts (7.1 vs. 3.5 years, P=0.01). They were more likely to have a history of asthma or recurrent wheeze (68% vs. 42%, P=0.03) and to present with cough (90% vs. 63%, P=0.009). EV-D68 children were significantly more likely to receive albuterol (95% vs. 79%, P=0.04), magnesium (75% vs. 42%, P=0.004), and aminophylline (25% vs. 4%, P=0.03). Other adjunctive medications used in EV-D68 children included corticosteroids, epinephrine, and heliox; 44% of EV-D68-positive children required non-invasive ventilatory support. CONCLUSIONS: EV-D68 causes severe disease in the pediatric population, particularly in children with asthma and recurrent wheeze; children may require multiple adjunctive respiratory therapies. |
Severe respiratory illness associated with enterovirus D68 - Missouri and Illinois, 2014
Midgley CM , Jackson MA , Selvarangan R , Turabelidze G , Obringer E , Johnson D , Giles BL , Patel A , Echols F , Oberste MS , Nix WA , Watson JT , Gerber SI . MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2014 63 (36) 798-9 On August 19, 2014, CDC was notified by Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, of an increase (relative to the same period in previous years) in patients examined and hospitalized with severe respiratory illness, including some admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. An increase also was noted in detections of rhinovirus/enterovirus by a multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay in nasopharyngeal specimens obtained during August 5-19. On August 23, CDC was notified by the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital in Illinois of an increase in patients similar to those seen in Kansas City. To further characterize these two geographically distinct observations, nasopharyngeal specimens from most of the patients with recent onset of severe symptoms from both facilities were sequenced by the CDC Picornavirus Laboratory. Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) was identified in 19 of 22 specimens from Kansas City and in 11 of 14 specimens from Chicago. Since these initial reports, admissions for severe respiratory illness have continued at both facilities at rates higher than expected for this time of year. Investigations into suspected clusters in other jurisdictions are ongoing. |

Pediatrics 2012 129 (4) e1104-e1109 Health care-associated infections in the NICU are a major clinical problem resulting in increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged length of hospital stays, and increased medical costs. Neonates are at high risk for health care-associated infections because of impaired host defense mechanisms, limited amounts of protective endogenous flora on skin and mucosal surfaces at time of birth, reduced barrier function of neonatal skin, the use of invasive procedures and devices, and frequent exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics. This statement will review the epidemiology and diagnosis of health care-associated infections in newborn infants. (Copyright 2012 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.) |

Bocchini JA Jr , Bradley JS , Brady MT , Bernstein HH , Byington CL , Fisher MC , Glode MP , Jackson MA , Keyserling HL , Kimberlin DW , Orenstein WA , Schutze GE , Willoughby RE Jr , Bell BP , Bortolussi R , Clover RD , Fischer MA , Gorman RL , Lee L , Pratt RD , Read JS , Gellin BG , Starke JR , Swanson J , Meissner HC , Rubin LG , Pickering LK , Baker CJ , Long SS , Frantz J , Committee on Infectious Diseases . Pediatrics 2010 125 (1) 195-6 The 2010 recommended childhood and adolescent immunization schedules have been approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. There are 3 schedules: one for children 0 through 6 years of age, one for people 7 through 18 years of age, and a catch-up immunization schedule for children and adolescents who start late or fall behind. These schedules reflect current recommendations for the use of vaccines licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration and include the following changes from last year: | Reference to the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for use of influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine1 is included in a footnote. | Revaccination with meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) is recommended for children who remain at increased risk for meningococcal disease. A dose of MCV4 should be administered after 3 years in children who received the initial MCV4 dose at ages 2 through 6 years and after 5 years if the first dose was given at age 7 years or older. Additional doses of MCV4 are then given every 5 years.2 | Recommendations on use of combination vaccines have been updated (the use of a combination vaccine generally is preferred over separate injections of its equivalent component vaccines). The final dose in the inactivated poliovirus vaccine series should be administered on or after the 4th birthday and at least 6 months following the previous dose. If 4 doses are administered before age 4 years, an additional (fifth) dose should be administered at age 4 through 6 years.3 | Recommendations for use of the recently licensed bivalent human papillomavirus vaccine in females and the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine in males are included. | Most of the footnotes for the individual vaccines have been revised to provide additional information and to clarify recommendations provided in the schedules. |
From the American Academy of Pediatrics: policy statements--modified recommendations for use of palivizumab for prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infections
Bocchini Jr JA , Bernstein HH , Bradley JS , Brady MT , Byington CL , Fisher MC , Glode MP , Jackson MA , Keyserling HL , Kimberlin DW , Orenstein WA , Schutze GE , Willoughby RE , Bell B , Bortolussi R , Clover RD , Fischer MA , Gellin B , Gorman RL , Pratt RD , Lee L , Read JS , Starke JR , Swanson J , Committee on Infectious Diseases . Pediatrics 2009 124 (6) 1694-701 Palivizumab was licensed in June 1998 by the US Food and Drug Administration for prevention of serious lower respiratory tract disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in pediatric patients who are at increased risk of severe disease. Safety and efficacy have been established for infants born at or before 35 weeks' gestation with or without chronic lung disease of prematurity and for infants and children with hemodynamically significant heart disease. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published a policy statement on the use of palivizumab in November 1998 (American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Infectious Diseases and Committee on Fetus and Newborn. Pediatrics. 1998;102[5]:1211-1216) and revised it in December 2003 (American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Infectious Diseases and Committee on Fetus and Newborn. Pediatrics. 2003;112[6 pt 1]:1442-1446), and an AAP technical report on palivizumab was published in 2003 (Meissner HC, Long SS; American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Infectious Diseases and Committee on Fetus and Newborn. Pediatrics. 2003;112[6 pt 1]:1447-1452). On the basis of the availability of additional data regarding seasonality of RSV disease as well as the limitations in available data on risk factors for identifying children who are at increased risk of serious RSV lower respiratory tract disease, AAP recommendations for immunoprophylaxis have been updated in an effort to ensure optimal balance of benefit and cost from this expensive intervention. This statement updates and replaces the 2003 AAP statement and the 2006 Red Book and is consistent with the 2009 Red Book recommendations. |
