Abstract

The unidentified virus that causes tomato fever is an infectious illness. The infection's primary signs and symptoms are tomato-shaped blisters that appear all over the body and expand to resemble a tomato, hence the name "Tomato flu." mostly impacts young children under the age of five. A "Hand, Foot, and Mouth illness" is tomato flu. In most situations, the clinical presentation is minimal. The infection is self-limiting and will go away on its own in 7–10 days. In areas where there are outbreaks, the diagnosis is established on the clinical history and physical examination. The etiological agent of this infectious disease, its course of therapy, and its vaccine are still unknown, and this is an important topic of research right now. By repurposing medications and vaccines, which are also synonymously being tried to treat the ailment at the moment, COVID-19 has given us lessons for epidemic preparedness and case management in emergency situations.
