In addition, in 2010, a total of 158 community cases of HFMD and herpangina were reported through a sentinel surveillance system implemented in Clermont-Ferrand, France. |
Patients generally present with hand-foot-mouth disease or herpangina which are benign and self-limiting. |
In pleurodynia, fever and muscle pain usually last 1 to 2 days, and in herpangina, symptoms generally last 3 to 6 days. |
Without a careful evaluation of patients' hands and feet, the condition is often diagnosed as fever blisters, herpes, or herpangina. |
