Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease Outbreak What You Need to Know.
HFMD is an obvious disease in children mostly below the age of five constituting a public health challenge to Asian-Pacific and developing countries majorly. This disease is often caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16. HFMD is a mild degree fever and general illness which manifests for about 10 days. Young age, male gender, poor hygiene, and high social contacts are some risk factors. HFMD can be diagnosed clinically by isolating the virus from stool and pharynx and identifying it on Light microscopic examination. Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay is a gold standard for confirming the virus from swabbed lesions. Late confirmation could lead to severe complications. There are no specific treatments and vaccines licensed for general use in the treatment of various serotypes of HFMD. The major strategy to prevent and control this disease is to strictly follow the WHO 8 guidelines to curb the spread of the disease.
期刊介绍:
Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular targets involved in infectious disorders e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes. Each issue of the journal contains a series of timely in-depth reviews written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in infectious disorders. As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-infective drug discovery continues to grow, this journal will be essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
