Question
What types of viruses cause hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The primary bacteria responsible are enteric bacteria, with the vast majority of patients being caused by Enterovirus 71. It is advisable for children to take proper precautions and receive timely additional hygiene training. Since children are younger and have weaker physical constitutions, timely coordination in treatment is necessary. Good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing and ventilation should be in place. During the healing process, patients should also pay attention to maintaining water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Additionally, measures should be taken to address DIC and pulmonary edema.
