ABSTRACT
RATIONALE Unlike other enteroviruses which can cause herpangina or hand-foot-and-mouth disease, enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has usually been linked to respiratory and neurological problems in young children. Skin manifestations had rarely been described in current literatures. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a 17-year-old girl with fever and painful skin rash over legs and soles for 9 days. Pitting edema was also noted below the knees. There was no respiratory tract or neurological symptoms in this patient. DIAGNOSES EV-D68 was detected from a throat swab by RT-PCR and confirmed to be subclade B3 by sequencing. INTERVENTIONS:
Supportive management.OUTCOMES:
The patient was afebrile after 9 days and got full recovery on the 23rd day at outpatient follow-up. LESSONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of EV-D68 infection with skin manifestations, clinical images, and detailed clinical course. Our findings in this particular case extend the understanding of the disease spectrum.
