| | Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most common in children in child care settings, where diaper changing and potty training are constant, and little hands often are in and out of the mouth frequently. | | | Fever is often the first sign of hand-foot-and-mouth disease, followed by a sore throat and sometimes a poor appetite and the feeling of being sick (malaise). | | | One or two days after fever begins, painful sores may develop in the mouth or throat. |

| | Diagnosis is made by most practitioners solely on the basis of the unique appearance of blisters of the mouth, hands, and feet, in a child not appearing very ill. | | | It is spread when poor hand-washing after a diaper change or contact with saliva (drool) allows the virus to be passed from one child to another. | | | Medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be helpful for decreasing pain, and allowing the child to eat and drink. |

| | One of the difficulties in vaccinating against FMD is the huge variation between and even within serotypes. | | | There is another viral disease with similar symptoms, commonly referred to as “hand, foot, and mouth disease,” that occurs more frequently in humans, especially in young children; this disease is caused by a different virus of the family Picornaviridae, namely, an Enterovirus called Coxsackie A. | | | Currently, the OIE recognizes countries to be in one of three disease states with regards to FMD - FMD present with or without vaccination, FMD free with vaccination, and FMD free without vaccination. |
