Overview
The goal of Primary prevention is to prevent the occurrence of an illness or a disease before it ever occurs. The viruses that cause epidemic pleurodynia can spread very easily among young children, who tend to put toys or fingers into their mouth. The disease is most likely to spread in daycare centers. The best way to prevent infection is to wash hands thoroughly, especially before meals or after changing a diaper or using the bathroom. Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces with a chlorine & bleach solution can reduce the risk of infection as can avoiding sharing cups or other utensils, kissing, hugging infected induviduals. There is no vaccine to prevent pleurodynia.
Primary Prevention
Bornholm diseases often affect children during the summertime. As such, it is important to cleanliness, especially in locations such as daycare centres where the disease spreads easily. Preventative measures for viral infection include:
- Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water, especially before meals or after changing a diaper or using the bathroom[1]
- Avoid sharing cups or other utensils, kissing, hugging
- Disinfecting frequently touched surfaces with a chlorine & bleach solution
- Because Coxsackie virus infections result in epidemics, it's important to notify health officials and the CDC[2]
