Abstract

Hand-foot-mouth Disease (HFMD) is an acute, self-limited, and highly contagious disease caused by a virus and generally affects children under 10 years old. The etiology of this disease is enterovirus 71 or coxsackievirus A16 which usually causes symptomatic infection or mild disease. Immunocompetent adults are rarely affected. However, recently the incidence of HFMD in immunocompetent adults has increased. We report a 41-year-old woman with severe oral lesions and painful papulovesicular eruption on the palms of her hands and feet.
