The Transmission Pathways and Prevention Measures of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD)

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, characterized by symptoms such as oral ulcers, fever, and rashes on the hands, feet, and mouth. It is mainly transmitted through the digestive and respiratory tracts as well as by direct contact.
