Can adults get the entro virus d68?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Anyone can become infected with enterovirus d68, regardless of age. The outbreaks beginning in the American midwest around August 2014 seem to be striking children prone to asthma symptoms more severely, but likely their entire families are infected. The virus is contagious like the flu or a cold, so whole families tend to be infected around the same time.
