Abstract

We describe 2 children with typical hand, foot, and mouth disease due to enterovirus 71 infection, 1 of whom died. Both cases were complicated by acute fulminant shock syndrome; the patients had remarkable acute left ventricular dysfunction. The clinical experience indicates that the rapid death associated with fulminant enterovirus rhombencephalitis is the result of rapid cardiogenic shock rather than neurogenic pulmonary edema. © 2002 Infectious Diseases Society of America.
