Abstract
We observed an intense enterovirus D68 outbreak in children in southwest Finland in August-September 2022. We confirmed enterovirus D68 infection in 56 children hospitalized for respiratory illnesses and in 1 child with encephalitis but were not able to test all sus-pected patients. Continuing surveillance for enterovirus D68 is needed.
