Abstract:
Coxsackie virus infections are highly contagious and can occur at epidemic levels within low socioeconomic populations. Since these diseases spread by contact, summer and fall occurrences increase significantly. A low grade fever and malaise are often related to non-specific viral infections. Hand-foot-and mouth disease (HFMD) is specifically caused by coxsackie virus.
