“…The typical presentation in children is an initial flu-like illness, which is later associated with painful ulcers in the oral cavity and painful vesicles on the palms and soles of the feet. In the adult population, more cases have been described in the last 10 years [ 2 , 5 ]. The diagnosis of HFMD in adults is imminently clinical since virus culture and laboratory identification requires specialized laboratories [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common, highly contagious infectious disease usually occurring during childhood (usually under 10 years old) [1,2]. It is most frequently caused by coxsackievirus-A16 and enterovirus-A71 with reports of coxsackievirus B1-B6 increasing in adults [2][3][4][5][6]. More recently, worldwide outbreaks of atypical presentation in adulthood associated with the coxsackie-A6 virus have been reported [4][5][6].…”

“…Enteroviruses are responsible for a heterogeneous group of diseases and their transmission is usually by the fecal-oral route, ingestion of fecal material, and respiratory secretions containing the virus [ 4 , 2 ]. After ingestion, there is viral replication in the lymphoid tissue of the pharynx and intestine, spreading posteriorly [ 4 ].…”

Hand-foot-mouth syndrome is a common childhood illness. Although occurrence in adults is rare, its incidence has been increasing. In such cases, it usually presents with atypical symptoms.The authors present the case of a 33-year-old male patient who presented with constitutional symptoms, feverish sensation, and macular palmoplantar rash associated with oral and oropharynx ulcers. The epidemiological history revealed exposure to two cohabitants (children) with a recent diagnosis of handfoot-mouth disease (HFMD).

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is commonly seen in infants and children; less frequently, it may be seen in adults as well. The disease is usually associated with viral infections, including many variants of enteroviruses and coxsackieviruses. We discuss the case of a 39-year-old male who presented with constitutional symptoms, fever, and lesions on his hands, feet, and mouth. His children, who had been recently diagnosed with HFMD, were likely the source of his infection. A comprehensive history and physical examination enabled us to identify the lesions, some of which were faint and difficult to visualize. Viral panel testing indicated positive results for human rhinovirus/enterovirus. Treatment and testing associated with the patient’s condition were supportive, largely based on the history and physical findings which helped us narrow down our differential diagnoses. Complete resolution of the symptoms within one to two weeks is generally expected in these patients.
