In February 2009, an outbreak of HFMD occurred in a Spanish nursery school, followed by onychomadesis 36-69 days later. Twelve of 17 children with HFMD developed nail shedding; enterovirus was detected in stool samples from eight (47%) of the 17. However, in only three of the children could an enterovirus serotype coxsackievirus B1 be identified. The epidemiological results of this study confirm onychomadesis as a complication in HFMD. In future outbreaks, molecular characterization of enterovirus from appropriate clinical samples should be studied.engAMhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Disease OutbreaksAdultChild, PreschoolCluster AnalysisEnterovirus B, HumanFecesAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional20854714138121775-810.1017/S0950268810002219Epidemiology and infectionopen access
