Daily Current Affairs / Surge in HFMD Cases Among Children in Delhi
Category : Science and Tech Published on: September 20 2025
Doctors have reported a rise in Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) cases in Delhi, mainly among children aged 2–7 years. The illness is most frequently caused by coxsackievirus A16, but other strains such as A6, A10, and enterovirus A71 can also trigger the disease. The illness causes fever, painful mouth ulcers, and rashes with blisters on hands, feet, and sometimes buttocks. While there is no specific treatment or vaccine, most children recover in 7–10 days with proper care and hydration. Parents are urged to stay vigilant and seek medical help if symptoms worsen.
Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar (Maharashtra), St. Mary’s Islands (Karnataka), Mawmluh Cave (Meghalaya), Naga Hill Ophiolite (Nagaland), Erra Matti Dibbalu & Tirumala Hills (Andhra Pradesh) and Varkala Cliffs (Kerala) have been added to UNESCO’s tentative World Heritage list.
