Tomato flu—the "mystery illness" that has been infecting young children in India, and was first identified in May—may actually be a strain of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with an atypical presentation. "They called it a flu, a tomato flu, which is descriptive, but it's not really scientifically accurate," Health. "It's really just a description of a rash in children who are ill with a fever, and it's not really describing whether they've got a different type of virus, or a new virus, or an emerging virus, or whether it's just a variant of something that already exists." A Common Childhood Disease Showing Up Differently F...

The children also suffered an eruption of red, painful blisters that grew to the size of a tomato - hence the name. Although the children can be unwell, there have been no reports of serious illness or death so far. Everyone seems to be recovering. Doctors treating the children were unsure what was causing this illness. The temperature, aches and pains could be due to any number of infections. They speculated that it might be the result of some exotic-sounding viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes, such as dengue and chikungunya - or even chickenpox. They thought that perhaps the unusual tomato-shaped rash might be occurring because children were reacting differently to infections after they had COVID.
