| Two human enterovirus 71 (HEV71) isolates were identified from hand, foot and mouth disease patients with genome sequences that had high similarity to HEV71 ([greater than or equal to] 93%) at 5'UTR, P1, and P2 and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16, [greater than or equal to] 85%) at P3 and 3'UTR. The virus causes a hand, foot and mouth disease that is identified by sores in the mouth and rashes on the palm of the hand and soles of the feet. HEV71 was identified during an epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease in Korea; that epidemic was found to be due to viruses constituting a new genogroup, C3. |
