Figure 1

Association between AFM and EV-D68 prevalence, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 2009–2018. A) The percentage of nasopharyngeal aspirate samples positive for RV/EV that typed as EV-D68 by real-time reverse transcription PCR. B) Comparison of confirmed AFM cases with the prevalence of EV-D68 during the same time period using Spearman correlation ρ and linear regression analysis (n = 10). AFM, acute flaccid myelitis; EV-D68, enterovirus D68; RV/EV, rhinovirus/enterovirus.
