CAUSATIVE

AGENT

Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16)

- Coxsackievirus A16 is typically the most common cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease

Coxsackievirus A16

- Coxsackieviruses can remain viable on hard, nonporous surfaces for upwards of two weeks in conditions of high and low temperature and humidity

Enterovirus 71

(EV-A71)

-EV-A71 can be found in an infected person’s respiratory secretions, such as saliva, nasal mucus, or sputum (mucus-like secretions sometimes produced in the lungs during infection), in their stool (poop), and in their blisters if they have hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71)

-Although rare, EV-A71 has been associated with more severe diseases such as encephalitis.

SIGNS &

  • Painful, red, blister-like lesions on the tongue, gums and inside of the cheeks

  • Irritability in infants and toddlers
  • Loss of appetite

  • Fever

DIAGNOSTIC

TEST

HOW HFMD DIAGNOSED?

  • A doctor can often diagnose HFMD simply by performing a physical exam. They'll check the mouth and body for the appearance of blisters and rashes.
  • The doctor will also ask you or your child about other symptoms.
  • The doctor may take a throat swab or stool sample that can be tested for the virus.

TREATMENT

  • Over-the-counter pain relief. Experts also recommend OTC pain relievers to help bring down a fever , such as ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol)

TREATMENT

  • Plenty of liquids. Make sure your child is hydrating, either with breast milk or formula, or, if he’s older, with water.
  • Cold or soft foods. Foods that are cooling and easy to eat will help soothe a sore throat and painful mouth.
  • Cover mouth blisters. This can help soothe irritation and make it easier for babies and toddlers to drink

  • Rest
