HFMD is a common illness caused by some enteroviruses.
Clinical features of HFMD: especially in children, painful vesicles develop on some or all of the hands, feet, inside the mouth and less commonly on the buttocks and genitalia.
Pregnancy and HFMD: may rarely be associated with abortion, but not other adverse pregnancy outcomes. If a pregnant woman develops HFMD or is in contact with it, no investigations are necessary.
