AB Enteroviruses  are  so  named  because  of  their  ability  to  multiply  in  the  GI  tract,  but  they  do  not  typically  cause  gastroenteritis.Enteroviruses  are  members  of  the  family  Picornaviridae  and  encompass  >100  human  serotypes:  3  serotypes  of  poliovirus,  21  serotypes  of  coxsackievirus  A,  6  serotypes  of  coxsackievirus  B,  28  serotypes  of  echovirus,  enteroviruses  68–71,  and  multiple  enteroviruses  (beginning  with  enterovirus  73)  recently  identified  by  molecular  techniques.  In  the  United  States,  coxsackievirus  B1  and  echoviruses  18,  9,  and  6  account  for  ~50%  of  all  enteroviral  infections.
