Yes, it can affect people of all ages, but young children are more susceptible, especially those under 5 years of age. Symptoms are generally like those in children and may include fever, sore throat, rash or small blisters on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or buttocks, mouth ulcers, poor appetite, and lethargy. However, symptoms may vary between individuals and at different stages of the disease.
