Enteroviruses isolated from herpangina and hand-foot-and-mouth disease in Korean children

Abstract: Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) and herpangina are commonly prevalent illness in young children. They are similarly characterized by lesions on the skin and oral mucosa. Both diseases are associated with various enterovirus serotypes. In this study, enteroviruses from patients with these diseases in Korea in 2009 were isolated and analyzed. Demographic data for patients with HFMD and herpangina were compared and all enterovirus isolates were amplified in the VP1 region by reverse transcription-polymerase ch… Show more

“…As reported in a previous study, herpangina is associated with different strains of enteroviruses, such as CAV2 in Taipei 2008 [48], CAV5 in Korea 2009 [49], CAV6 and CAV10 in France 2010 [45]. In addition, in Japan during 2000–2005, there have been reports of enterovirus infections caused by CAV2, CAV4, CAV6, CAV8 and CAV10 [10].…”

“…EV-A71 and CV-A16 were responsible for 90.2% and 8.7% of fatal outcomes, respectively. 17,24,29,31,40,41,44,47,49,58,67 Although usually mild, CV-A16 infection may lead to neural and muscle cells apoptosis 118 and has occasionally been the cause of rhombencephalitis, brain stem encephalitis and acute flaccid paralysis, fatal pneumonitis and fulminant myocarditis with intractable shock. 8 Since 2004, the incidence of CV-A6-and CV-A10-associated HFMD epidemics has markedly increased worldwide [ Table 1].…”

“…EVs are transmitted mainly from person to person by fecal-oral or oral-oral routes and by contact with upper respiratory secretions, fomites, or fluid from blisters [ 2 , 5 ]. Although most EV infections remain asymptomatic, they are also responsible for a wide range of clinical syndromes, such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, myocarditis, acute flaccid paralysis, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and herpangina [ 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 ].…”
