They are associated with a broad range of diseases, including various enanthems and exanthems, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, myocarditis, pericarditis, several central nervous system syndromes (most commonly aseptic meningitis), and undifferentiated febrile illnesses with or without respiratory tract symptoms. Almost all enteroviral infections are probably either asymptomatic or mild and self-limited. Historically, enteroviruses have been divided into the following subgroups largely on the basis of differences in the range of hosts and pathogenicity: the polioviruses, group A coxsackieviruses, group B coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses.
