Beschreibungen/Notizen

• McIntyre et al report severe cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) associated with coxsackievirus A6 in the states of Alabama, Connecticut, California, and Nevada during the period from Nov 2011 to Feb 2012. Of the 63 patients, 44 had exposure to a child care facility or school, and eight of the 15 adults had contact with children in child care where cases of HFMD were reported, or provided medical care or were related to a child with HFMD. Signs of HFMD included fever; rash on the hands or feet, or in the mouth; and rash on the arms or legs, buttocks, and trunk. HFMD is spread from person to person by contact with saliva, respiratory secretions, fluid in vesicles, and feces.
