Resumen

GURKM, Asuman; ACAR, Mehtap  y  SENEL, Saliha. Demographic characteristics of patients with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Atypical cases series. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2015, vol.113, n.4, pp.e211-e214. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2015.e211.

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood exanthem. Various types of lesions and widespread distribution in atypical cases have been described, but data on the predilection of lesion localizations in atypical cases are insufficient. We aimed to describe the demographic features of patients with HFMD, and to characterize lesion localizations in patients with atypical eruptions treated at an outpatient dermatology clinic of a pediatric hospital, between November 2011 and August 2013.The study included 67 patients. Mean age of the patients was 34 months and there was a male predominance (60%). All the patients had eruptions on hands, feet, and mouth. Children aged <24 months had involvement of the diaper area and extremities, which was significantly higher than those aged 24-48 months and >48 months (P < 0.0001 and P= 0.011, respectively). None of the patients had serious systemic complications.
