Patients with hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with onychomadesis during a fall 2008 outbreak in Finland
Identification of the causative agent of the HFMD outbreak
Coxsackievirus A6 may be emerging as a new and major cause of epidemic hand, foot, and mouth disease.
During fall 2008, an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with onychomadesis (nail shedding) as a common feature occurred in Finland. We identified an unusual enterovirus type, coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), as the causative agent. CVA6 infections may be emerging as a new and major cause of epidemic HFMD.
