summary

Hand foot and mouth disease, though not very serious harm, it mainly invades the skin, palms, feet, oral mucosa, perianal and other parts of papules or herpes. But because the main patients of HFMD are infants and young children, children and adults do not get sick after infection. And there is a certain degree of infectious and explosive, coupled with no specific drugs, only symptomatic treatment, which makes many parents nervous.

Can hand foot mouth disease be reimbursed

First, HFMD can be reimbursed for its rapid transmission and difficult control, because HFMD mainly occurs in children under two years old, and most of the infants in this age group are in nurseries, which is relatively concentrated. In addition, the enterovirus is highly infectious, the route of transmission is complex, the speed of transmission is fast, and the control is difficult, so it is easy to have an epidemic outbreak in a short time.

Second: life threatening, small children, in recent years there have been a small number of children, mainly infants under two years old. There will also be high fever, white blood cells increased for unknown reasons and can not find out other infectious foci, it is necessary to guard against concurrent myocarditis, encephalitis, pulmonary edema, etc., baby immunity is not strong, often will endanger life. In particular, children with EV71 infection may have meningitis, encephalomyelitis, neurogenic pulmonary edema, circulatory disorders, etc., which may lead to death or sequelae.

Third: the main complications 1. Ulcer, because the infant hand, foot, mouth, perianal and other parts of the skin and mucous membrane is thin and tender, so it is easy to cause ulcer, long-term ulcer healing up difficult. 2. Infection, due to gastrointestinal viruses causing systemic infection, such as myocardial infection, causing myocarditis: brain or meninges infection, leading to encephalitis or meningitis: lung infection, causing pneumonia, pulmonary edema.   

matters needing attention

Serious cases can lead to death, a small number of infants, due to their low immunity, coupled with infection caused by myocarditis, meningitis, pulmonary edema. If the treatment is not timely, it will endanger life.
