Abstract
- Hand-Foot-Mouth disease is a highly contagious disease most often seen in children. It is caused most commonly by the coxsackie virus A16. Other enterovirus have been implicated. A 41-year-old woman was presented with painful multiple vesicles on oral mucosa, tongue, both hands and feet. She had recieved a bone marrow transplant 16 months ago and had recieved immunosuppressive drugs. Immunosuppression may have a role in the development of Hand-Foot-Mouth disease. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is important because serious sequelaes are common in an elderly individual and immunocompromised patient.
