Diseases

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a viral illness that commonly affects infants and children but can also occur in adults. The most common cause of HFMD is the coxsackievirus, particularly the strains A16 and Enterovirus 71. The disease is highly contagious and spreads through person-to-person contact, typically via respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, as well as through contact with contaminated surfaces.
