Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection related to coxsackieviruses A5, A6, A9, and A10, coxsackieviruses B2 and B5, and echovirus 11. It generally affects children, but this article presents a clinical case of a young woman with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Patients with this disease have oral and skin lesions that may be confused with other diseases. The differential diagnosis is very important because both dental and medical professionals may misdiagnose the disease and sometimes prescribe an inappropriate medication.
手足口病是一种与柯萨奇病毒A5、A6、A9和A10、柯萨奇病毒B2和B5以及埃可病毒11相关的病毒感染。它通常影响儿童，但本文介绍了一名患有手足口病的年轻女性的临床病例。患有这种疾病的患者会出现口腔和皮肤病变，这些病变可能与其他疾病相混淆。鉴别诊断非常重要，因为牙科和医学专业人员都可能误诊该疾病，有时还会开出不适当的药物。
