Coastal areas in China have reported significant cases due to environmental factors like high humidity and temperatures. Atypical HFMD cases are also documented in North America, South America, and Europe, including countries like the United States, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Portugal, and Italy. However, Africa experiences fewer cases, possibly due to the absence of major outbreaks caused by specific viral agents and limited real-time public health surveillance systems." Read more...
