Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a very infective infection. It's
caused by viruses from the Enterovirus genus, among the
Enterovirus genus coxsackievirus is most commonly found
associated with Hand , Foot and Mouth disease. Hand, foot
and mouth disease (HFMD) causes rashes or vesicular lesions
in the affected individuals and lesions are found in extremities
and upper extremity lesion is more common along with feet
and mouth. It is mostly seen in school going children, and
causative agents are likely Enterovirus-A (EV-A) species,
including Coxsackievirus-A16 (CV-A16) and Enterovirus-71
(EV-71) [1]. Hand , Foot and Mouth Disease is usullay mild and
selimiting. In the affected patient's rst identied by a brief
prodromal fever, followed by pharyngitis, mouth ulcers and
rash on the hands and feet. The disease is caused by
numerous members of the Enterovirus genus of the family
Picornaviridae e.g. Coxsackievirus type A (CA) and
Enterovirus 71 (EV71), and the clinical features are not
identiable and distinguishable from virus to virus. [2] . Young
children have the highest risk of getting hand, foot, and mouth
disease. Risk increases if they attend daycare or school, as
viruses can spread quickly in these facilities. Children usually
build up immunity to the disease after being exposed to the
viruses that cause it. This is why the condition rarely affects
people over age 10. However, it's still possible for older
children and adults to get the infection, especially if they have
weakened immune systems. EV71 is a human enterovirus A
species causing infection in clildren[3,4] . Clinically though it
is mild symptoms and self limiting initially, such as a fever
along with unraised colorless spots, and bumps on the hands,
feet, and mouth. In some patients with severe disease several
neurological complications (including cephalomeningitis,
encephalitis, and neurogenic pneumonedema) and
circulatory disorders. Occasionally, it even causes death [5].
Therefore, an early indicator of EV71 infection with
neurological involvement is crucial for appropriate
management [6]. Hand, foot, and mouth disease by
enterovirus infection repots severe complications (such as
brain stem encephalitis, neurogenic pulmonary edema, and
other fatal complications) and a high mortality due to HFMD
are more frequently related to EV71 infection[7,8] .
