Echoviruses (Enteric Cytopathic Human Orphan virus) constitute one of the major groups of viruses and are associated with illnesses including fever, joint pain, viral meningitis, nonspecific rashes, chronic muscle pain, and spasmodic pain in the chest wall or upper abdomen. It is often misdiagnosed. Echoviruses can infect all tissues of the human body. Paralysis is possible, though uncommon. Take Echovirus test at LabSafe. Several studies confirm Echoviruses account for more than 50% of spring and fall emergency department visits by infants and young children who go to the ER for a fever of an unknown source. A few epidemics have been nearly global, such as one caused by Echovirus-9 at the end of the 1950s and another by Echovirus-11 in 1979 and 1980. For reasons unknown, it is slightly more common in males than females.
