Since the beginning of the year, there have been 38 outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) throughout West Virginia.
There have been 17 outbreaks just since the first of September according to the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health (BPH).
HFMD is a common viral illness that primarily affects infants and children, with typical seasonal increases during the summer and fall months.
While individual cases are not reportable in West Virginia, emergency department, urgent care and outbreak data indicate higher HFMD activity this year compared to prior years. Older adolescents and adults may also become infected.
Symptoms of HFMD include the sudden onset of fever, painful mouth sores, and a rash on the hands and feet.
Anyone affected can return to day care, school or work once they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
See the official Health Advisory below for more details. For more information, call (304) 558-5358, ext. 1
