Definition

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infection among infants and young children caused by certain enteroviruses in the Picornaviridae family of +ssRNA viruses, such as Coxsackievirus A16 and Enterovirus A71. HFMD is generally a benign febrile exanthematous disease, but complications can occur causing meningitis and encephalitis.
