- Short Stature
Aarskog syndrome is basically a skeletal dysplasia and affected males develop characteristic malformations of the skeletal system including disproportionate short stature; broad, short hands and feet; short, stubby fingers (brachydactyly) with permanent [rarediseases.org]
Some forms also result in short stature. In isolated brachydactyly, subtle changes may be present elsewhere. Brachydactyly can be accompanied by other hand malformations, such as syndactyly, polydactyly, reduction defects, or symphalangism. [blueprintgenetics.com]

Skin
- Blister
The skin blisters of HFMD are infectious until they become crusty and there is no fluid in the blisters. The virus may also be shed in the faeces (poo) for several weeks after the blisters resolve. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Keep your child home from childcare or school until blisters have dried. If blisters are able to be covered and the child is feeling well, they will not need to be excluded. Frequent hand washing helps decrease the chance of becoming infected. [health.govt.nz]
The rashes begin as red spots and rapidly progress to grey blisters with a red and raw base. Trunk and thighs may also be affected. The rash lasts about 3 to 6 days. The fluids in the blister is usually infective. [news-medical.net]
Scratching at blisters or rashes can lead to a secondary infection. If blisters develop in the throat, there may be a risk of dehydration. In severe cases, cardiorespiratory failure can occur. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Complications include the following: "Aseptic" (also called "viral") meningitis (rare): Symptoms of meningitis are moderate-severe headache, discomfort when bending the head forward (classically tested by trying to touch the chin to the chest), and nausea [medicinenet.com]
Neurological involvement and meningitis are more likely if EV71 is the causative organism. [ 7 ] Neurological involvement can include aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, neurogenic pulmonary oedema and acute flaccid paralysis. [patient.info]

Etiology
Most cases affect children younger than 10 years old. 3 Etiology and Pathophysiology HFMD is most commonly caused by members of the enterovirus genus, especially coxsackie viruses. [mhmedical.com]

Epidemiology [ 1, 2 ] HFMD occurs worldwide, with a peak incidence in the summer and autumn in temperate climates. It is most common among infants and children aged younger than 10 years but can occur at any age. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
Most cases affect children younger than 10 years old. 3 Etiology and Pathophysiology HFMD is most commonly caused by members of the enterovirus genus, especially coxsackie viruses. [mhmedical.com]
Pathophysiology Infection generally occurs via the fecal-oral route or via contact with skin lesions and oral secretions. Viremia develops, followed by invasion of the skin and mucous membranes. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
The alanine tract elongation may prevent protein-protein interactions of the mutant HOXA13, thereby inducing a localized heterochrony in the sequence of distal limb and genitourinary development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention of HFMD Good personal hygiene is essential to prevent the spread of HFMD to others, both for those infected and their carers. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Many of the suggested prevention strategies or treatments for HFS are based on this theory. How can I prevent HFS? Unfortunately, there is nothing that is guaranteed to prevent HFS. [oncolink.org]
Treatment and Prevention There is no known therapy or preventive measures that doctors know of at the present time. [feetfirstinc.com]
