Surveillance of HFMD in Pediatric Outpatients
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
The aims of this prospective multicentric study is to determine the types of enteroviruses (EVs) responsible for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) or herpangina in children seen within an ambulatory setting : * to detect an EV-A71 epidemic or another type associated with atypical forms of the disease at an early stage * to describe and compare the epidemiological, demographic, clinical and virological characteristics of these infections between the different types of EV.
