What is the mortality rate of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

It is said that children can also get hand, foot, and mouth disease, so now I would like to ask how many people die from hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease is a condition caused by a virus with infectious properties. The incidence rate is much higher during late spring and early summer each year. However, this condition is usually the symptoms of the common type of hand, foot, and mouth disease. With timely treatment, it generally heals quickly on its own. Severe cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease may lead to neurological damage or damage to the heart and lungs if treatment is not administered promptly, potentially resulting in life-threatening complications. This risk is relatively low.
