It's enterovirus 71 season. Probably back with a vengeance.
In Malaysia, 47,209 cases of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) have been recorded for 20 weeks from the beginning of 2022.
This number is 20 times larger than that for the same period in 2021 (2,237 cases).
It's inordinate, too.

Meet Olivia. Olivia was diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis, or #AFM, when she was 6 years old. AFM does not stop her from following her dreams. Watch Olivia's This is Me video at srna.ngo/Olivia!

Massive thanks to the efforts of @RRobertseHealth, @kmess44 and Dr. Janell Routh in establishing a unique ICD code for #acuteflaccidmyelitis. 👏👏👏 Post about their efforts here: afmanow.org/blog

one huge positive of 2020. #afm has not reared its ugly head. #acuteflaccidmyelitis
Defying predictions that 2020 would see the highest spike yet in cases of #acuteflaccidmyelitis (#AFM), the confirmed case count through October is the lowest since 2015. Neurologists attribute the unexpected decline to the #COVID19 lockdowns. bit.ly/3fyPGeR

Acute flaccid myelitis (#AFM) is a serious paralytic condition that can be devastating for the individuals and families affected. Read touching stories of personal journeys with AFM. bit.ly/2DKbA0k #AFMAwareness #knowAFM #AFM2020

Was your child recently diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis? AFM can be devastating and cause uncertainties about recovery. Read stories from parents who have been in your shoes and get support from the AFM community. bit.ly/2DKbA0k #StrongerTogether #AFMAwareness #AFM

An outbreak of #AcuteFlaccidMyelitis is anticipated in 2020. Clinicians should be alert for acute limb weakness, especially in children and from August through November. Learn more to be #prepared: ow.ly/cbIx30r1JU1 #knowAFM

Every two years, doctors in the U.S. see a spike in cases of a rare, polio-like condition in kids called AFM. But some are hoping Covid-19 social distancing measures will also limit the spread of the virus that likely causes the condition. buff.ly/3j6AhUt

As a doctor, a scientist, and epidemiologist, I can tell you with 100% certainty that in most states with an increase, it’s a real increase. It's not more tests—it's more spread of the virus. nyti.ms/3gboH8g
