Abstract

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), which is typically seen in the younger pediatric population, is uncommon in older adolescent and young adult populations. We report on an atypical outbreak of HFMD among college students at a mid-size university in the mid-Atlantic U.S. The outbreak included 138 qualifying cases of HFMD among students at the institution between August and November 2018. All tested samples were positive for CVA6, a less common cause of HFMD. Signs and symptoms and campus mitigation strategies are described. This case report aims to highlight an atypical outbreak of HFMD for clinicians who care for older adolescent and college-aged patients in primary care and community settings, and may see cases and/or outbreaks of HFMD in these populations.

在非典型大学生群体中爆发的手足口病。
手足口病(HFMD)通常出现在较年轻的儿科人群中,但在年龄较大的青少年和青年人群中并不常见。我们报告了美国大西洋中部一所中等规模大学的大学生中爆发的一次非典型手足口病疫情,疫情包括 2018 年 8 月至 11 月期间该校学生中 138 例合格的手足口病病例。所有检测样本对 CVA6 均呈阳性,而 CVA6 是手足口病的一种较少见病因。报告介绍了手足口病的体征和症状以及校园缓解策略。本病例报告旨在强调手足口病的非典型暴发,供在初级保健和社区环境中护理年龄较大的青少年和大学生患者的临床医生参考,这些人群中可能会出现手足口病病例和/或暴发。
