What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify the types of enteroviruses responsible for hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and herpangina in pediatric outpatients. Children aged 0 to 10 years presenting with symptoms suggestive of these conditions will have throat or mouth swabs collected by pediatricians. The samples will be sent to a national reference laboratory for enterovirus detection and genotyping, while demographic and clinical data will also be gathered during the consultation. The study seeks to detect potential epidemics and compare the characteristics of different enterovirus types.
