Abstract

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is one of the major causative pathogens of hand, foot, and mouth disease in children. EV-A71 infection could cause neurological diseases, include meningitis, polio-like syndrome, myelitis, and brainstem encephalitis. Frequent myoclonic jerks, consciousness change, and autonomic dysregulation are warning signs of brainstem encephalitis. The stage-based management reduces morbidity and mortality associated with severe EV-A71 infections. EV-A71 vaccine is effective against hand, foot, and mouth disease and neurological diseases.
