A prospective descriptive study was carried out on children treated in the guard body with the diagnosis of the hands, feet, mouth syndrome in the period from October to December of the year 2017 and January 2018, with the aim of describing their behavior through the sociodemographic variables age and sex; health area, month of appearance; risk factors and main signs and symptoms that motivated the consultation. The universe and the sample: constituted by 507 cases. To perform the characterization of the sample studied, descriptive statisticians (absolute and relative frequencies) were used, the data were processed through the statistical professional program SPSS 22.0 for Windows. Results: 79.3% corresponded to the age group of 1 to 5 years, of the female sex; 40.8% belonged to the René Vallejo polyclinic; 63.5% attended daycare centers or children's circles and 100% manifested fever, typical mucocutaneous rashes and malaise as a clinical picture.
