Enterovirus 68 -- United Kingdom
Doctors said 2-year-old RJ may never walk again after falling ill with the virus in January [2016]. The toddler, who had symptoms of a chest infection, woke up one day unable to stand - and is now paralysed from the waist down.
His family says he was initially sent home from hospital when doctors were unable to find anything wrong. They later diagnosed EV-D68, and warned that [he] may be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
