“…11% of adults become infected after the exposition to the pathogen, although less than 1% of those develop the HFMD clinical symptoms. 10,11 Cases of immunocompetent adults suffering from HFMD have also been described by other authors. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Familial transmission between the child and an adult, similar to the situation observed in our case, was presented in 3 case series by Kaminska et al 12 Viral transmission occurred faster between the infected pediatric patient and an adult than between 2 adults.…”

[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Familial transmission between the child and an adult, similar to the situation observed in our case, was presented in 3 case series by Kaminska et al 12 Viral transmission occurred faster between the infected pediatric patient and an adult than between 2 adults. Intra-familial transmission between a small child and immunocompetent adults was also the subject of case reports by Omaña-Cepeda et al and Tai et al 13,14 An unusual location of erythematous crusted macules on the scalp, which accompanied a typical spectrum of clinical symptoms in a generally healthy adult, was presented by Andreoni and Colton.…”

“…Embora seja dispensável, tendo em conta a elevada probabilidade diagnóstica pela apresentação clínica típica e o contexto epidemiológico suspeito, o curso tipicamente autolimitado e sem necessidade de terapêutica dirigida e a falta de acessibilidade aos testes necessários em tempo útil nos CSP, o diagnóstico laboratorial é a confirmação absoluta da doença e da estirpe viral envolvida. 1,5,15 Nos casos em que a avaliação analítica se justifica pela evolução desfavorável do caso podem ser incluídos parâmetros para avaliação da gravidade analítica da infeção, de imunodeficiência adquirida e de diagnóstico alternativos com serologias virais e pesquisa de sífilis, como foi o caso. 12 O diagnóstico diferencial deve incluir a gengivo-estomatite herpética, varicela, sífilis secundária e outros exantemas virais, sendo a apresentação clínica e o contexto epidemiológico os principais diferenciadores.…”
