Hand, foot and mouth disease is back. For parents with previous experience of HFMD, this means... IT IS the season of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and the situation in Singapore is not a pretty picture. According to the Ministry of Health, as of last week, there were 1,261 reported cases of HFMD, bringing the total number so far this year to about 20,200. That is almost double the number of about 11,000 cases during the same period last year. |
