In this 2017-2019 community-based cohort, 245 healthy children were followed from birth to age 2 years. A total of 46 enterovirus-D68 infections were detected by nasal swabs, all occurring between August and November 2018, with no detections in other study periods. About 46% of infections met acute respiratory illness criteria, of which 33% were medically attended; none required hospitalization.
