Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (Flu Singapore) pada Balita Usia 1 Tahun

Abstract

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is an acute and contagious viral infection that commonly affects children, especially those under 5 years of age. A 1-year-old male patient presented to the Dermatology Clinic at Cut Meutia General Hospital with the primary complaint of watery blisters on his hands, feet, and mouth, accompanied by fever and loss of appetite. These watery blisters first appeared one week before admission and have worsened over the past three days, spreading rapidly and rupturing easily. The patient has also experienced fluctuating fever over the past three days, loss of appetite, and red spots on the back. The patient lives in an environment where he frequently interacts with neighborhood children and has poultry kept near the house. Dermatological findings: The oral region showed multiple vesicles on the tongue mucosa with an erythematous base; some lesions had ruptured, forming shallow erosions. The upper extremities showed vesicles and erythematous papules with well-defined borders, ranging in size from lenticular to nummular, distributed in multiple clusters; some had a whitish center and were scattered across the extensor surfaces of the arms. The lower extremities show multiple erythematous vesicles of lenticular size; some exhibit hyperpigmented macules from old lesions with indistinct borders. The thoracic and dorsal regions show erythematous macules and multiple small papules; some exhibit post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The patient was prescribed steroid medication, specifically Fusycom cream, cefixime syrup, and cetirizine syrup
