1/5. Hand, foot, and mouth disease.Hand, foot, and mouth disease, also known as vesicular stomatitis with exanthem, is a vesicular disorder affecting both skin and oral mucosa. The disease is usually caused by Coxsackie virus A-16 and affects mainly children. The oral lesions may require differential diagnosis from other conditions, such as herpetic gingivostomatitis, aphthous stomatitis, and herpangina. Hand, foot, and mouth disease should not be confused with foot-and-mouth disease of cattle, which is rare in human beings and is not caused by Coxsackie virus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. Acute encephalomyelitis during an outbreak of enterovirus type 71 infection in taiwan: report of an autopsy case with pathologic, immunofluorescence, and molecular studies.We report a fatal case of enterovirus type 71 (EV 71) infection in an 8-year-old girl during a summer outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease in 1998 in taiwan. The clinical course was rapidly progressive, with manifestations of hand, foot, and mouth disease, aseptic meningitis, encephalomyelitis, and pulmonary edema. The patient died 24 hours after admission. Postmortem study revealed extensive inflammation in the meninges and central nervous system and marked pulmonary edema with focal hemorrhage. brain stem and spinal cord were most severely involved. The inflammatory infiltrates consisted largely of neutrophils involving primarily the gray matter with perivascular lymphocytic cuffing, and neuronophagia. The lungs and heart showed no evidence of inflammation. EV 71 was isolated from the fresh brain tissues and identified by immunofluorescence method with type-specific EV 71 monoclonal antibody. It was also confirmed by neutralization test and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction with sequence analysis. The present case was the first example in which EV 71 was demonstrated to be the causative agent of fatal encephalomyelitis during its epidemic in taiwan.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Non-specific febrile illness by Coxsackievirus A16 in a 6-day-old newborn.A case of non-specific febrile illness by Coxsackievirus A 16 (CA 16) in a 6-day-old newborn whose mother had developed hand, foot and mouth disease manifestations 2 days after delivery is reported. Notwithstanding the concurrence of negative circumstances like the presence of the enterovirus genome in the cerebrospinal fluid, absence of type specific neutralizing antibody and a few days of life, the newborn recovered 3 days after the onset of fever. This case, also characterized by the absence of mucosal and cutaneous erythematous manifestations typical of CA16 infection, draws attention to the possibility that non-specific febrile illness in newborns usually suspected of bacterial origin may have an enteroviral cause.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Fatal rhabdomyolysis and renal failure associated with hand, foot and mouth disease.Fatal severe rhabdomyolysis and anuric renal failure developed in a young man who had contracted hand, foot and mouth disease during an epidemic of this disease. Viral studies implicated coxsackievirus A16 as the infecting agent. This appears to be the first reported case of rhabdomyolysis that was associated with hand, foot and mouth disease and infection with coxsackievirus A16.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = mouth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
