More Widespread Lesions with New Coxsackie Strain

More Widespread Lesions with New Coxsackie Strain
MIAMI BEACH -- A newer strain of the Coxsackie virus has a more extensive and varied clinical presentation than classic hand, foot, and mouth disease
almost all patients had far more widespread vesicular bullous and erosive eruptions than classic disease and about half had an eczema-herpeticum type eruption
Most prominently was widespread vesicular bullous eruption that was much more widespread than in classic disease. It wasn't confined to the hands, feet, or diaper area, but was also observed on the extremities and trunk, and sometimes had perioral involvement that was misdiagnosed as bullous impetigo.
The third most common morphology, seen in a third of patients, was papular eruption on both the face and the extremities
petechia and purpura
Finally, in the subset of patients who were followed after their illness resolved, clinicians saw two cutaneous features. One was the shedding of the proximal nail from the underlying nail bed, which occurred 3 to 8 weeks after the disease was gone.
The other was palm and sole desquamation seen 1 to 3 weeks after the resolution of illness, Oza said.
