Abstract

This data article is constructed using information from hand, foot and mouth disease outbreaks in every Malaysian state. Important information like total number of cases from every state and age group, humidity, air temperature and wind as well as types of viruses isolated from patients infected with hand, foot and mouth disease were gathered and sorted into four tables. The information sources include Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU), National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Since the Ministry of Health Malaysia only begun archiving hand, foot and mouth disease cases between years 2010-2017 in MAMPU, weather data extractions are following the similar timeline. Conversely, published data on viruses and their serotypes associated to hand, foot and mouth disease were extracted from NCBI but, data availability were limited between the years 2010 and 2014.
