Important To Take Precautions Against HFMD

By Ainul Huda Mohamed Saaid



KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- The public must heed calls made by the health authorities to take the necessary precautions against the hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) as it is spreading all over the country at a worryingly rapid rate.


The disease has so far claimed two lives, one in Sarawak and the other in Penang.


On July 28, a two-year-old child died of suspected HFMD in Mukah, Sarawak. The toddler, who was from Kampung Pangtray, Daro, in Mukah, had fever on July 24 and showed signs of rashes on the palms and feet, as well as oral ulcers the next day.


In Penang, a 17-month-old boy died on June 6; he was admitted to a private hospital on June 3 after experiencing flu, breathing difficulty and mouth ulcers but his condition deteriorated. Tests confirmed that the child died from a lung infection as a result of complications from Enterovirus 71 (EV71), which causes HFMD.


At the time of writing this article, a total of 39,408 HFMD cases were reported nationwide since Jan 1. Selangor recorded the highest number of cases at 11,669, followed by Kuala Lumpur (4,552) and Sarawak (4,551).
