Any number of viruses that infect the intestines are called enteroviruses. There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses, which cause 10 million to 15 million infections in the U.S. each year. These germs multiply in your intestines, and they cause many different illnesses.
Enterovirus D68 mainly causes respiratory symptoms. Children tend to be more affected than adults.
You catch enterovirus D68 the same way you catch a run-of-the-mill cold: by coming into contact with someone who's infected, especially if that person coughs or sneezes on you, or if you touch an infected surface.
Most people who have enterovirus D68 will be sick for about a week. But the virus can stay in their body for several weeks. That means they can make other people sick even after they're better.
