Q

A child developed low-grade fever, sore mouth and vesicles on the palm, soles and in the mouth. The vesicles had a red halo. What is the most likely diagnosis?

A

Hand Foot and Mouth disease

Erythema multiforme and secondary syphilis could have a similar appearance. It would, however, be unlikely that lesions would be confined to the palms, soles and mouth but this is possible.

Hand-foot-and-Mouth disease is a coxsackievirus infection that is more severe in children. The incubation period averages 3-6 days. The disease is highly contagious so that similar cases in close contacts helps support the diagnosis

The red halo is highly characteristic of Hand-Foot-and-Mouth disease.

41
Q
A

Warts have a uniform papillomatous surface. Psoriasis has silvery scale, seborrheic keratosis have a haphazardly cracked pattern. The keratoacanthoma has a smooth surface with a central crust.
