Epidemiology
Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common acute infectious disease in children. It mostly occurs in children under 5 years old, and can cause herpes on the hands, feet, mouth and other parts, and a small number of children can cause complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, aseptic meningoencephalitis, etc. Individual children with serious illnesses deteriorate rapidly and are prone to death if not treated promptly.
Currently, 108 serotypes of enteroviruses have been found, which are divided into four groups: A, B, C and D. Enteroviruses that cause HFMD are various, but enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CoxA16) are the most common and in addition to HFMD, can cause serious central nervous system complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, and acute flaccid paralysis.
