HAMILTON >> On Saturday officials confirmed that the death of four-year-old Eli Waller, was caused by the Enterovirus D68 strain.
Little Eli Waller, one of three triplets, was asymptomatic according to Jeff Plunkett just prior to his death, Officials had been waiting to hear news of what may come of the findings from samples sent to the CDC regarding Waller, a process that was expedited with the help of Congressman Chris Smith. Late Friday evening officials were tasked with informing Waller’s family that the tests showed that the 4-year-old died as a result of what Plunkett described as a particularly virulent strain of Enterovirus, a virus which has more than 100 strains,
According to Mayor Kelly Yaede, said that the family has rallied together to make it through the difficult road ahead. As it stands, it remains unclear as to where the preschooler may have contracted the virus.
Parents worst nightmare.
Very strong pro-life.
Hope he can find some answers.
That CDC guy was on Fox and FRiends, and they couldn't get a straight answer on Ebola or Enterovirus.
That doctor who was cured of ebola, he's back in the hospital with breathing difficulties and pink eye. Not sure if it's significant but that jumped right out at me while reading your comment.
I have seen news reports from doctor saying this is a disease that was seen during the 1960’s.
Those who have survived Ebola, have very weakened immune systems, and have been reported to suffer numerous medical issues.
I was just struck by the description of this poor little boy’s symptoms. He died of Enterovirus 68, correct?
Sounds as if this ebola-survivor doctor has it now as well, then? Or purely coincidental? Pink eye is another old disease, highly contagious. It was becoming uncommon in my childhood. Like bedbugs, scabies and TB it’s coming back, though.
It’s just a mystery as to why, though. /s
