Tomato flu is an infectious disease caused by an unexplained virus. The main symptoms of the infection are tomato-shaped blisters all over the body which enlarges to resemble the shape of a tomato, therefore being named as ‘Tomato flu’. Most commonly affects children below the age of 5 years. Tomato flu is considered a “Hand, Foot and Mouth disease”. The clinical manifestation of most cases is mild. It is a self-limiting infection which gets resolved on its own in 7-10 days. The disease was very contagious and it manifested with a rash mainly noticed in children younger than nine years. The rash was very painful and blisters were the size of small tomatoes, hence it was termed 'tomato flu'. The tomato flu is highly contagious among children and therefore the children should be kept indoors and avoid sharing of clothes or toys. Efforts should be undertaken to collect more specimens from the infected children and sent for identification to confirm the etiological agent.
