Outbreak of Hand Foot & Mouth disease in Singapore and Malaysia

Hand Foot & Mouth is a common childhood illness and is found all over the world. Nearly all cases are mild, involving a few days of fever, some spots or small vesicles on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. All the symptoms normally disappear in just a few days without treatment. It is caused by a type of virus of the enterovirus group, of which there are many strains or subtype. Most cases of Hand Foot & Mouth are found in small children aged 2 and above, just after starting school, kindergarten or play group. It is contracted exclusively by close contact with a sufferer.
There has been an outbreak of this disease recently in Singapore and Malaysia, in which a small number of children died from rare complications of this disease. The deaths were attributed to a certain strain of the enterovirus which is currently found only in the outbreak ares of Singapore and Malaysia. This strain has not been reported in Thailand, but the normal, self-limiting type of Hand Foot & Mouth is found frequently in Thailand as any where else in the world.
