Abstract

We report for the first time in South America an HFMD case associated with Coxsackievirus A10. The viral strain belongs to a lineage involved in important European outbreaks and probably entered Uruguay after 2017 with a Greek origin. These findings call for strengthening the regional surveillance of HFMD.
