Not really.: I think you're referring to Enterovirus 68 that has been unusual active recently. Specific tests for E-68 aren't available in most clinical labs.. While E-68 usually runs a course similar to the common cold, it can cause serious respiratory distress, especially in kids with asthma. Don't freak out but do get prompt care if your child has difficulty breathing, as opposed to just having a cough.
