Seroprevalence of Enterovirus D68 Infection among Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Human enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), which belongs to enteroviruses of the small RNA family, is a type of enterovirus that can cause acute respiratory tract infection and central nervous system diseases. This study systematically analysed and summarized EV-D68 antibody studies in databases and identified the seropositivity rates of different regions, ages, and sexes.

Methods

Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 16.0 software. I2 and Q tests were used to analyse the heterogeneity of the included studies. Meta-regression analysis was performed for different groups, and Egger's linear regression analysis was used to evaluate publication bias.

Results

The results of multiple studies indicated that the serological prevalence range of EV-D68 antibody was 17.78-96
