Immune responses to viral gene therapies pose a challenge to successful treatment. [38] However, responses to viral vectors at immune privileged sites such as the eye may be reduced compared to other sites of the body. [38] [39] As with other forms of virotherapy, prevention of off-target genome editing is a concern.
Treatment for enteroviral infection is mainly supportive. In cases of pleurodynia, treatment consists of analgesics to relieve the severe pain that occurs in patients with the disease; in some severe cases, opiates may be needed. Treatment for aseptic meningitis caused by enteroviruses is also mainly symptomatic.

Coxsackie B infections usually do not cause serious disease, although for newborns in the first 1–2 weeks of life, Coxsackie B infections can easily be fatal. [2] The pancreas is a frequent target, which can cause pancreatitis. [2] Coxsackie B3 (CB3) infections are the most common enterovirus cause of myocarditis and sudden cardiac death. [8]
