A 4 YEAR OLD ABQ BOY IS RECOVERING FROM WHAT COULD BE A CASE OF ENTEROVIRUS D-68. THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH THE CDC TO DETERMINE IF THE BOY, IN FACT, HAS THE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS THAT'S STRUCK SCORES OF CHILDREN IN 10 OTHER STATES. THIS IS THE FIRST POTENTIAL CASE OF THE ENTEROVIRUS IN NEW MEXICO.
THE BOY IS BEING TREATED AT PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL, WHERE HIS PARENTS TOOK HIM AFTER HE FIRST HAD TROUBLE EATING AND BREATHING, THEN STARTED THROWING UP. WORD IS HE'S IMPROVING.
