Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral infection of children caused by Coxsackie virus-A16, a type of enterovirus closely related with the virus that causes herpangina. Although seen worldwide, it is not common in India. Hand, foot and mouth disease is sporadically reported from India as a mild illness. This report describes four cases of HFMD from Nagpur, Central India, seen between September 2005 and April 2006. All patients presented with a mild febrile prodrome followed by the appearance of aphthous-like oral ulcers and vesicular lesions on the hands and feet. All cases were clinically diagnosed. Coxsackie virus A16 was isolated from the serum of one of the patients. All the patients were in the age group of 3-5 years from different schools. It was a mild illness and all the four patients recovered without any complication. There were no secondary cases in the families.
手足口病（HFMD）是一种由柯萨奇病毒A16引起的儿童病毒性感染，柯萨奇病毒A16是一种肠道病毒，与引起疱疹性咽峡炎的病毒密切相关。尽管在全球范围内都有发现，但在印度并不常见。手足口病在印度偶尔作为轻症病例被报道。本报告描述了2005年9月至2006年4月期间在印度中部那格浦尔市出现的4例手足口病病例。所有患者均先出现轻度发热前驱症状，随后出现口疮样口腔溃疡以及手脚部的水疱性病变。所有病例均为临床诊断。从其中一名患者的血清中分离出了柯萨奇病毒A16。所有患者均来自不同学校，年龄在3至5岁之间。这是一种轻症疾病，所有4名患者均康复且无任何并发症。家庭中无二代病例。
