The blisters look different from those in the case of
HFMD," said Dr.
These data indicated that the TFH cell might play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of
HFMD at acute stage of EV71 infection.
HFMD is moderately contagious and usually not a serious illness among the infected population; however, recent outbreak of
HFMD in countries such as China, Singapore, and Finland has brought the world attention to
HFMD due to complications of death related cases [3-10].
Inviragen's pipeline also contains a vaccine candidate to protect against hand, foot and mouth disease (
HFMD), which has completed Phase I testing, and a recombinant vaccine candidate to protect against chikungunya, currently in preclinical development.
A large outbreak of
HFMD infected about 35,000 people and killed 17 in China's Hunan province in June 2012.

According to the Vietnamese MoH, there were approximately 116,418 people in 63 provinces confirmed to have hand, foot, and mouth disease (

HFMD is caused by various types of viruses known as enteroviruses.

HFMD virus is contagious and infection in spread from person to person by direct contact with nose or throat discharges, saliva, fluid from blisters, or the stool of infected persons.
We will move forward with our research and development of vaccines with the objective to supply high quality vaccine products to children worldwide as soon as possible and to contribute to the prevention and control of
HFMD."
