During the enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) outbreak of 2014, the BioFire FilmArray (FA) respiratory panel was used to detect rhinovirus/enterovirus in respiratory specimens; suspected EV-D68-positive specimens were sent to CDC for confirmation. Positive rhinovirus/enterovirus FA targets revealed patterns loosely associated with EV-D68 that may be useful for confirmation triaging.
