Atypical presentation of enterovirus infection in adults: outbreak of “Hand, Foot, Mouth and Scalp disease” in Northern Italy

Abstract

We read with great interest the article entitled 'Hand, foot and mouth disease: an overview of clinical features in adult patients' published by I. Neri et al. in the JEADV, in which the authors reported the atypical features of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD)observed over 16 months. We recently witnessed an outbreak of atypical HFDM with well defined features, almost exclusively affecting adults, and we would therefore like to report and compare our experience.
