Health authorities have reported an outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease in Depok, with at least 26 cases reported among children between the ages of 4 months and 6 years.
Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the Health Ministry’s director general for disease control and environmental health, said on Friday that the cases began on Jan. 7 and had incorrectly been reported by some media as Singapore flu.
He said young children were particularly susceptible to the disease because of their underdeveloped immune systems, but added that it was not considered a very serious disease.
However, Tjandra said parents still needed to be on alert and ensure proper hygiene for their children because in some cases the infection could lead to meningitis or encephalitis.
