Keywords: | Enterovirus;Enfermedad atípica de manos, pies y boca;Virus Coxsackie A6 | Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | Revista Argentina de microbiologia | Abstract: | We present two groups of cases of atypical hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) detected in Argentina in 2015. The first group involved 14 patients from Chubut province and the second group affected 12 patients from San Luis province. Molecular analysis of the complete VP1 protein gene revealed the circulation of E2 sublineage, the most predominant worldwide. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CV-A6 infections associated with atypical HFMD in Argentina and South America. |
