This paper reported a case of onychomadesis which appeared on the nails after heal of cutaneous lesions of hand-foot-mouth\r\ndisease (HFMD). There were a few reports describing onychomadesis after HFMD; however, the mechanism is still unclear. The\r\npresent case was prospectively observed, and onychomadesis was found to develop only on the nails having cutaneous lesions of\r\nHFMD. We considered that nail dysfunction due to direct inflammation spreading from skin eruptions around nail is one of the\r\ncauses of onychomadesis linked to HFMD.
