Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) affects nails in children, particularly focusing on the occurrence and characteristics of nail changes after diagnosis.
- A survey of 273 parents revealed that 20.5% of children experienced nail changes, which were more common in boys and typically occurred 1 to 2 months post-HFMD diagnosis, often lasting around 4 weeks.
- Nail changes mainly appeared as onychomadesis and did not require any treatment, with no reported relapses or new nail issues after recovery.
