Background
- Caused by coxsackie virus
- Most frequently in children, but can occur in all age groups
- Similar to Herpangina, but with additional hand/foot lesions
Clinical Features
- Brief prodrome w/ low fever, anorexia, sore mouth
- Oral lesions appear 1-2d later
- Vesicles on erythematous base, will then ulcerate
- Painful
- Found on buccal mucosa, tongue, soft palate and gingiva
- Hand/foot lesions
- Red papules that change to gray vesicles
- Resolves after 7–10 days
Complications
- Some children get a desquamation of the nails around 2 weeks afterwards (self resolves)
Differential Diagnosis
Pediatric Rash
- Atopic dermatitis
- Bed bugs
- Contact dermatitis
- Drug rash
- Erythema infectiosum (Fifth disease)
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease
- Henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP)
- Herpangina
- Herpes simplex virus (HSV)
- Infectious mononucleosis
- Meningitis
- Measles
- Molluscum contagiosum
- Roseola infantum
- Rubella (German measles)
- Scabies
- Scarlet fever
- Smallpox
- Varicella (Chickenpox)
Diagnosis
- Clinical diagnosis, based on history and physical examination
- If unsure, see Pediatric Fever
Management
- No specific therapy for most; self-limited
- NSAIDS and cool liquids for pain
- Encourage good hand hygiene to prevent spread
- Some recommend Magic Mouthwash/oral lidocaine if not tolerating PO intake, although evidence suggests no better than placebo[1]
- In infants, do NOT use oral lidocaine due to risk of lidocaine toxicity and FDA black box warning[2][3]
Disposition
- Discharge
