    Abstract:
    Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an enteroviral infection characterized by vesicles on the hands, feet, and oral mucosa. Given its rising incidence among adults, it is important to recognize its variable presentations and sequelae. These include onychomadesis, a complication of hand, foot, and mouth disease that is well described in children, with limited reports in adults. We present the unique case of a pregnant woman who developed onychomadesis following hand, foot, and mouth disease, with no adverse pregnancy outcomes. This case illustrates that (1) onychomadesis can occur in pregnant women with hand, foot, and mouth disease; (2) onychomadesis is typically a benign change that can occur following hand, foot, and mouth disease; and (3) onychomadesis is not necessarily associated with more severe disease or adverse pregnancy outcomes.
