The enterovirus is not very rare at all and in fact the enterovirus is actually a very common virus and infects around 10 million to 15 million people in the United States each year.
The enterovirus is most common in teenagers, children and infants although adults can also become infected with the enterovirus.
The enterovirus is also most common in the summer and fall months and is a group of viruses which includes non polio enteroviruses and enterovirus D68 (EV-D68).
You can get the enterovirus by touching or shaking hands with an infected person, being around someone infected and through sneezing, coughing, touching infected toys, sinks or toilets.
Or even coming into contact with an infected persons feces, poop, saliva, sputum, nasal mucus or blister fluid.
The enterovirus spreads easily and is most commonly spread from person to person through contact with unwashed hands or surfaces contaminated by poop.
The enterovirus can also spread through droplets when a person infected with the enterovirus sneezes or coughs.
The enterovirus is not the flu although the enterovirus can cause symptoms similar to the flu.
Enterovirus is a common virus which causes a variety of illnesses which include flu like symptoms including body aches, sore throat, rash and fever.
The enterovirus is spread through respiratory droplets and through feces and is most common in children and teens although adults can also get the enterovirus.
The enterovirus is a genus of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that is associated with several human and mammalian diseases.
Enteroviruses are named by their transmission-route through the intestine.
Serologic studies have also distinguished 71 human enterovirus serotypes on the basis of antibody neutralization tests.
Enteroviruses are a common cause of infection in people of all ages, with symptoms that can range from mild to serious.
Most enterovirus infections happen in the summer and fall.
The diseases caused by enteroviruses include poliomyelitis, Bornholm disease (epidemic myalgia), myopericarditis, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, nonspecific febrile illnesses, pneumonia, aseptic meningitis, herpangina, enteroviral vesicular stomatitis (hand, foot, and mouth disease), encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis.
Both the flu and enterovirus come with fever, runny nose and a cough.
The differences, is that the enterovirus has "a predilection to cause a lot of respiratory symptoms, particularly wheezing."
With the flu, you are more likely to have severe muscle aches.
Most people with enterovirus symptoms will usually recover in 7 to 10 days.
People who have weakened immune systems, asthma, or other respiratory conditions may develop more serious complications.
It might take them longer to completely recover from the enterovirus.
