Abstract
Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is common, but nail changes have not been well described. We described nail changes in HFMD. Nail changes following (HFMD) in two outpatient clinics were assessed over two years. Out of 524 cases of HFMD, 40 patients (7.6%) presented with nail problems, 29 cases had onychomadesis, and 11 cases had Beau’s lines. The median age of the subjects was 36 (15 - 126) months, and slight male preponderance (23:17) was seen. HFMD is a common disease having delayed nail changes also. So identification of and preventive strategies are required to limit complications
