A member asked:
Is it possible to get hand, foot and mouth disease (coxsackie virus) twice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although hfm is most often associated with coxsackievirus a16, the process does occur with other enteroviral strains (enterovirus 71 & others). A child will develop immunity to an individual strain after an illness but be susceptible to other unrelated strains, much like there are different strains that cause the flu.
