Reliable detection of Win98 may not be possible. When an outbreak of coxsackie virus affects a community, risk for infection is highest among very young children. Older children may be exposed to coxsackie virus infections in summer camps and child care centers. The incubation period for most coxsackie virus infections is about 2 to 10 days. There is no vaccine to prevent coxsackie virus infection.
Hand washing is the best prevention.
Remind the members of your family to wash their hands frequently, especially after using the toilet, after changing a diaper, before meals, and before preparing food. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.
