Disease relevance of Herpangina

Eight coxsackievirus A10 strains isolated in 1978 and in 1981 and 1982 from patients with hand, foot-and-mouth disease and with herpangina at a dispensary in Matsue city were compared by RNA fingerprinting techniques [1].
We have isolated Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) from stool and CSF samples taken from patients with acute flaccid paralysis, herpangina, or hand, foot and mouth disease in 2000 [2].

High impact information on Herpangina

Successful treatment of herpangina with allopurinol mouthwashes [3].
The major types associated with herpangina were, in order of frequency, CA4, 10, 5, 6, 2 and 3, representing 87.2%-80.8% of total isolations reported for each respective type in this period [4].
