Acute Fulminant Cerebral Edema Caused by Coxsackievirus A6 Infection: A Case Report
ABSTRACT In recent years, Coxsackievirus A6 (CV‐A6) has gradually replaced Enterovirus 71 (EV‐71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (CV‐A16) as the main pathogen causing hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) in China. This article reports a fatal case of HFMD caused by CV‐A6, leading to fulminant cerebral edema and cardiopulmonary arrest.
