EV-A71 infection could cause neurological diseases, include meningitis, polio-like syndrome, myelitis, and brainstem encephalitis. Frequent myoclonic jerks, consciousness change, and autonomic dysregulation are warning signs of brainstem encephalitis. The stage-based management reduces morbidity and mortality associated with severe EV-A71 infections. EV-A71 vaccine is effective against hand, foot, and mouth disease and neurological diseases.enChildren | Enterovirus A71 | Neurological complications | Stage-based treatment | Vaccine[SDGs]SDG3Case 6.
