Abstract: Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is one of the main viral infections in childhood, and although it is known to present a benign and self-limited course, it can also present a spectrum of long and short term complications among which dermatological manifestations and nail manifestations such as onychomadesis stand out, which although it is related to other etiologies is considered a secondary complication to viral diseases when preceded by symptoms suggestive of the same. This lesion usually causes alarm and anxiety in caregivers; however, it does not require specific management and adequate symptomatic management and general measures are sufficient to achieve a satisfactory evolution around 4-6 months later, with recovery of the nail’s ad integrum after the initial clinical picture. The present study describes a clinical case in the city of armenia, quindío, of hfmd and onychomadesis, its diagnosis and follow-up.
