In Thailand, hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is usually caused by enterovirus 71 or coxsackievirus A16. To determine the cause of a large outbreak of HFMD in Thailand during June-August 2012, we examined patient specimens. Coxsackievirus A6 was the causative agent. To improve prevention and control, causes of HFMD should be monitored.
在泰国,手、足、口病(HFMD)通常由肠道病毒 71 型或柯萨奇病毒 A16 引起。为了确定 2012 年 6 月至 8 月泰国大规模 HFMD 爆发的原因,我们检测了患者标本。柯萨奇病毒 A6 是致病因子。为了改进预防和控制,应监测 HFMD 的病因。
