So sad to see a child crying who is infected with Enterovirus 71 and receiving a blood check at a hospital in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, China. The virus has killed at least 26 children and has infected more than 8,000 though exact numbers are unknown at this time across China.Hundreds more cases have been reported in Fuyang and in northwest China's Shaanxi Province 118 cases have been seen this year, the hand-foot-mouth disease mainly has infected children between the ages of 2 and 6 and usually starts with a slight fever, followed by blisters, ulcers in the mouth and rashes on the hands and feet.
A nationwide health alert has been issued on the disease, more here from China Daily
