Hand-foot-mouth disease can occur all year round. The infectivity of the disease is relatively strong. The pathogen is coxsackie virus, enterovirus, etc. If you don't pay attention to isolation, it can lead to local epidemic outbreak, which mostly occurs in infants under 4 years old. It is the high incidence period in July, August and September of each year.
