“…The difference in the turnover time between skin and nail could explain the delayed onset of nail changes after resolution of the systemic and cutaneous signs of HFMD [7]. Onychomadesis occurring after HFMD is temporary with spontaneous normal regrowth [8,9]. Indeed, there is no need for treatment and usually onychomadesis in those children diseappears spontaneously within 1 to 2 months [10].…”

Hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) is considered to be the most common infectious disease in association with onychomadesis. Coxsackie A6 may be the major subtype associated with onychomadesis after HFMD. A 2-yearold female child was referred to our department for an acute vesiculobullous eruption since two days with fever. Dermatological examination revealed a vesiculobullous eruption located on her hands and on her feet. Two months later she consulted for changes of her finger nails which appeared since 3 weeks. Her parents denied a nail trauma or fungal infection. The diagnosis of onychomadesis secondary to this HFMD was diagnosed. Physical examination revealed nail matrix arrest on her right index and right middle finger. The nail changes healed spontaneously without medication within two months. Practioners should be aware of this late complication to avoid unnecessary treatments and to recommend a simple follow-up.

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.

Introduction:The pattern of skin diseases in any community is influenced by genetic constitution, climate, socioeconomic status, occupation, education, hygienic standards, customs and quality of medical care. The burden of skin disease also has an impact on the Quality of Life of adolescents. This study aims to investigate the level of awareness and assess the prevalence of different types of skin diseases among adolescents in Mauritius. Material and Methods: 500 adolescents and young adults of both sexes and aged between 11-23 years were recruited. A questionnaire was used to elicit information and to assess the knowledge status of skin diseases and to determine possible risk factors. In addition, a validated questionnaire based on Quality of Life Index was used to determine the psychosocial effect of adolescents suffering from skin diseases. Data was analysed using IBM Statistics SPSS version 20 and Microsoft Excel 2007. Results: Incidence of skin diseases was 22.9% in males and 24.7% females respectively. Acne was the most common skin problems in both gender followed by fungal infection (2.9%) in males and eczema (2.4%) in females. Climatic conditions (e.g summer), consumption of oily and spicy foods, sports practice and familial history were correlated positively with prevalence of skin diseases. Conclusion: Acne, eczema and fungal infection were the most common skin diseases identified. The findings also indicate that more respondents between 15-19 years old were more prone to skin diseases.
