“…Other coxsackie group A viruses such as CA4, CA5, CA6 and CA7 have also been reported as the causative agents of sporadic cases of HFMD (Baker & Phillips, 1979;Flewett et al, 1963;Magoffin et al, 1961;Okuhara et al, 1975). However, little is known about what causes the occurrence of HFMD, the differences between viruses which cause HFMD or other diseases, or the ecology of these viruses.…”

SUMMARYEight coxsackievirus A10 strains isolated in 1978 and in 1981 and 1982 from patients with hand, foot-and-mouth disease and with herpangina at a dispensary in Matsue city were compared by RNA fingerprinting techniques. The oligonucleotide maps of the four 1978 isolates were related to each other by 85 to 93% with respect to their large T1 oligonucleotides. In contrast, the oligonucleotide maps of the four 1981 and 1982 isolates were very different from each other. Co-electrophoresis experiments revealed that the 1981 and 1982 strains shared only 17 to 34 % of their large oligonucleotides. In addition, some large oligonucleotides were found in most of the fingerprint maps of isolates from 1978 to 1982, suggesting that there are regions in the genome of coxsackievirus A10 which are not subject to mutational changes.

“…The lesions are mainly composed of a painful, vesiculo-erosive stomatitis, associated with a painless maculovesicular eruption on the backs and palms of the hands and on the soles of the feet. The disease may be associated with fever, anorexia, malaise, coryza, coughing, headache, sore throat, abdominal complaints, and rarely, with complaints of cervical adenopathy [1,2,5,8], hepatosplenomegaly [1,5,8], pain in the joints [7,8,12] and dysuria [6], Generally all symptoms have completely disappeared after about 10 days. Severe sequelae, such as myocarditis, meningo-encephalitis or paralysis are rarely noted [I, 2,4,5,8,12,13,18].…”

The disease affected mainly children under 10 years; stomatitis was the main feature ; malaise and fever were present in up to half the cases; symptoms lasted less than seven days.…”
