Overview

Overview

The health care costs from enterovirus infections are unknown, but a large portion of the costs may come from use of over-the-counter medications to treat symptoms for millions of cases of “summer colds” and “flu” caused by enteroviruses. There are also significant costs associated with the 25,000 to 50,000 hospitalizations for aseptic meningitis each year in the United States.
