What are the main examination items for hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease check what

Doctor's answer:

For hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is recommended to conduct blood tests for routine examinations. These include blood tests, pathogen detection, Mycoplasma pneumoniae testing, and C-reactive protein testing. Additionally, symptoms should be assessed to determine if there are blisters in the mouth or on the hands and feet. If white blood cell count is elevated, it suggests that the hand, foot, and mouth disease is more severe. Furthermore, etiological testing can be performed to identify whether the infection is caused by EV71 virus or Coxsackie virus. If the patient appears lethargic, blood glucose levels should be monitored.
