Although once considered rare, incidence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections has been increasing throughout the 21st century, and is connected to cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP),1,2 a condition for which there is no established treatment. We report a 28-year-old Japanese woman admitted to our hospital with distal muscular weakness after experiencing upper respiratory symptoms and subsequently diagnosed with AFP.
