Abstract
Enterovirus D68 was known to be the cause of mild to severe respiratory infections, but in the last few years, it has also been associated with myelitis and paralysis. This report describes the first Enterovirus D68 detections in acute flaccid paralysis cases occurring between December 2015 and March 2016 in Spain.
