Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease - A Short Case Report

Abstract

Hand, foot and mouth disease, which was once considered a disease of cattle, has been emerging as a common human childhood disease in the last few years but is rare in adults. It is a viral disease characterised by a brief febrile illness and typical vesicular rashes. In rare cases, patients may also develop neurological complications. This report describes a case of hand, foot and mouth disease, presented with typical clinical features in the central Indian region.
