Does anyone remember the question form NBME form 5, section 4, which showed a toddler’s finger with vesicular lesions? Here is the question: A 2-year-old boy developed vesicular lesions (picture showed lesions on finger) 2 days ago. Which of the following best describes the virus causing the lesions? A) Double-stranded RNA, icosahedral, envelope present B) Double-stranded RNA, helical, envelope present C) Double-stranded RNA, icosahedral, no envelope D) Single-stranded RNA, icosahedral, no envelope E) Single-stranded RNA, icosahedral, envelope present

i think its D. The thing coming in my mind is Hand, mouth foot disease caused by coxsackie A virus which is a picorna virus (ssRNA Naked Icosahedral virus). But i havent seen the picture.
