Younger ,HFMD associated with other diseases ,invasive procedure ,use of hormone and long hospitalization were the predisposing factors of nosocomial infection .Conclusion :The incidence of nosocomial infection is higher in hospitalized children with HFMD and effective intervention measures should be taken to reduce the infection rate so as to decrease the fatality rate of the children .
