Terrible!

That's a nasty one. I remember my little brother got hand, foot, and mouth when he was 2 and we were in Florida. We had to listen to the poor kid be miserable for the entire drive back.

Plus, until I studied micro, I never realized how how nasty coxsackie is.

Don't worry, xot doesn't have a coxsack.

Yeah, I think the first time I heard about the virus in lecture I wrote "9 inch coxsackie virus" or something like that.

It just lends itself to comedy until you get it and are miserable.

It would be impossible for me to discuss that in a scholarly setting without turning into Beavis.

I was on call over the weekend and a lady called saying that her son had a sore throat and that she had a little one and then developed pustules on her hands. The kid also had them. She said that he was in daycare.

Then yesterday, there was a note at my kid's daycare that said they'd been exposed to coxsackie.

Then my son got a fever.

Then tonight, I had him open up his mouth and I saw it was littered with petechiae. Tomorrow, I bet there will be ulcers.

I told me wife that we need to prescribe the family a gallon of magic mouthwash.

I try to tell my wife that I need to prescribe her some magic mouthwash sometimes. She doesn't fall for it.

I think she's starting to think it isn't good for her hair like I told her either...:eusa_shhh:

Actually, Coxsackie is a town in the Hudson Valley of New York. Apparently, that is where the virus was first discovred.

Kinda like Intercourse, Penn., which has (or at least had) a bank chain called "Blue Ball".

Sounds like you found the source. Sounds like the day care needs some reminders about basic hygiene.

I guess "magic mouthwash" is about the best you can do with this bug.

Am I wrong in thinking that this is a somewhat seasonal bug that generally shows up in the summer? Stuff starts to run together since I am studying for boards.

Or Lyme, Connecticut where Lyme Disease was first discovered.

I thought Lyme disease was discovered long before that.


Nevermind....just realized I was thinking of scurvy.

No you're good: It shows in summer.

XO should wear a facemask for a week, and wash hands after diaper changes (hoping he does that now)
