- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 41-year-old healthy male diagnosed with the hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and received symptomatic therapy with NSAID. Family history of the patient revealed the patient's 2-year-old daughter recently had HFMD from an outbreak at her daycare. The study reveals that in children, the disease usually presents with vesicles or ulcers in the oral cavity occurring on the buccal mucosa and tongue, and also blisters in hands, feet and buttocks.
