| • | Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is caused by a number of enteroviruses in the family Picornaviridae. One such virus is enterovirus 71. HFMD is not to be confused with foot-and-mouth disease, which is a disease affecting sheep, cattle and swine, and which is unrelated to HFMD (but also caused by a member of the Picornaviridae family).
HFMD usually affects infants and children, and is quite common. It is moderately contagious and is spread through direct contact with the mucus or feces of an infected person. It typically occurs in small epidemics in nursery schools or kindergartens, usually during the summer months.
