Implication

May inform pediatric EV71 surveillance; leaves open whether global transmission drives repeated outbreaks.

Structured PICO

Population

121 Enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains isolated from patients with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Fukushima, Japan, from 1983 to 2003, and 164 EV71 strains isolated worldwide

Intervention

Phylogenetic analysis based on the VP4 sequence

Outcome

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic clustering of EV71 strains

Repeated EV71 outbreaks in Japan may be driven by the worldwide transmission of newly introduced genetically divergent strains.
