Previous message: Tim or Jude Kurokawa: "Re: Definition of term" Hand, foot and mouth disease is Coxsackie virus. Affects small children. Have never seen it in adults, but probably in 50 + kids over the past 10 years. So I don't think it is a big issue with the fetus.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
