Abstract

During 2022-2024, a total of 35 of 1,040 households had a distinct symptomatic index case of enterovirus D68; estimated symptomatic secondary infection rate was 13.6%. Sequences from patients within households clustered closely; we observed 0-2 pairwise nucleotide differences between household cases 6-14 days apart.
