Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in an infant.

Hand foot and mouth disease is a self limiting enteroviral lesion characterized by papulovesicular eruptions over hands and feet with circinate oral ulcers in the palate. The fever associated with the illness subsides in 48 hours and rash lasts for 7 to 10 days. Rarely they can also be associated with complications like encephalitis and myocarditis. We report a one year six month old infant with hand foot mouth disease which resolved without complications.
