Abstract

In the summer and autumn of 2014, a cluster of cases of flaccid paralysis were seen in the United States related to patients infected with enterovirus D68 (EV-D68). We present here a case of acute-onset flaccid hemiparesis in a previously healthy boy with altered mental status, hypothermia, and bowel incontinence.
