Re: "Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease"From: DoctorJoe@aol.comWed Dec 30 23:23:25 1998

She was concerned about possible effects on the fetus. Since I have never heard of this, I had no idea whether this is a viral or bacterial infection. I had the patient ask the family physician for the medical diagnosis. >> Hand-foot-mouth disease is a syndrome of blisters/ulcers on the palms, soles, and mouth caused by various enteroviruses, including the Coxackie group. There is not any specific affect I know of on the fetus, although Coxackie viruses have historically been linked to some congenital syndromes (anecdotally, I think). Joe P.

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.
