At present, there is no official definition for atypical HFMD, but some studies have defined that it occurs at anatomic sites not listed in the definition of HFMD issued by the World Health Organization.

Article Synopsis
  • Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood infection, with atypical skin symptoms often linked to coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), leading to unusual lesions beyond the usual areas.
  • A systematic review of 85 studies revealed that most affected children were around 2.4 years old, with typical skin findings including vesicles, papules, and bullae, particularly on arms and face, and identified CVA6 in 63% of cases.
  • The atypical presentations can cause misdiagnoses and excessive treatments, highlighting the need for better understanding and awareness of these variations to enhance patient care and infection control guidance.

Viral and paraviral exanthems are the most common exanthems in children and are often the reason for a medical evaluation, especially in pediatric primary care and emergency rooms. Familiarity with the various eruptions is important for early diagnosis and patient management as well as minimizing the risk of infection. In this review, we present the newly described entities reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruptions (RIME) and the pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS).
