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  >115  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,  58%  of  all  enterovirus  infections  are  caused  by  coxsackieviruses  A6,  A9,  and  B4;  echoviruses  6,  11,  18,  and  30;  and  human  parechovirus  3.
