Abstract:
Hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD) is an infectious disease that seriously affects the health of infants and young children and has become a major public health problem worldwide,especially in the Asia-Pacific region.HFMD can be caused by a variety of enteroviruses,the most common being enterovirus 71(EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16(CVA16).In recent years,with the significant increase of HFMD caused by Coxsackievirus A6(CVA6) infection,CVA6 has gradually become the main pathogen of HFMD in many countries and regions around the world.CVA6 is not only susceptible to children,but also infects adults with normal immune function.The paper reviewed the CVA6 related etiology,epidemiology,clinical symptoms,laboratory diagnosis and development of vaccine.
