Abstract

Background: Hand, foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease that spreads from person to person, easily causing epidemics caused by intestinal viruses. The disease can cause many dangerous complications such as meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, acute pulmonary edema leading to death if not detected early and treated promptly. Objectives: Identify some factors related to the severity of hand, foot and mouth disease at Can Tho Children's Hospital. Materials and method: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 186 children ≤15 years old diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease treated at Can Tho Children's Hospital. Results: Children who are not exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months have a higher risk of severe HFMD than those who are exclusively breastfed (p=0.037). Ready clinical symptoms related to severe HFMD include fever ≥39OC (p<0.001), fever duration >2 days (p=0.001), startle (p<0.001). Subclinical symptom related to severe HFMD is hyperglycemia ≥160 mg/dL (p=0.045). Conclusion: Severe hand, foot and mouth disease in children is associated with not being exclusively breastfed in the first 6 months, fever ≥39OC, fever duration >2 days, startle, hyperglycemia ≥160 mg/dL.
