Abstract:Abstract In this study, we used case-control study method to explore the risk factors lead to severe situation of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) and the results could be helpful for the disease prevention and intervention. 31 severe cases in designated hospital in Xiamen city were chose as case group and 69 common cases were as control group, respectively. The demography of the cases and characteristics of patients, including disease course, medical treatment and type of virus infected, were investigated. We found the enterovirus 71 (EV71) infections, the time from disease onset to first seeking medical treatment, lower age of the cases, suffering respiratory disease before were the factors related to severity of the disease. The EV71 infection might be the major risk factor, and the others could contribute to the severity of the disease.
