This upsurge is in line with the seasonality of EV-D68 and was presumably stimulated by the widespread reopening after COVID-19 lockdown. Most cases were identified in September, but more are to be expected in the coming months. Reinforcement of clinical awareness, diagnostic capacities and surveillance of EV-D68 is urgently needed in Europe.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Acute flaccid myelitisEnterovirusEnterovirus D68Respiratory infectionSurveillanceTypingAtribución 4.0 Internacional347637502645210099810.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.45.21009981560-7917Euro Surveillance: bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinopen access
