Abstract:
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Hangzhou in 2016,so as to provide evidence for prevention and control of HFMD.Methods The clinical data of HFMD diagnosed in outpatient and inpatient department of Hangzhou Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.At the same time,we investigated their family health and environment,and whether there was any silent infection among family members who were closely contacted with HFMD cases.Results There were 14 600 cases of HFMD diagnosed,including 1 492 hospitalized patients in 2016.The peak of cases occurred from May to July.Of the 1 492 hospitalized cases of HFMD 1 374 were positive for enterovirus,accounting for 92.1％.Of all positive specimens,266 cases were positive for EV-A71,accounting for 19.36％,151 cases were positive for coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16),accounting for 10.99％,and 957 cases were positive for other enterovirus,accounting for 69.65％.A total of 108 family members who had close contact with 75 EV-A71 positive children were investigated.Among them,31 fecal specimens were positive for EV-A71 nucleic acid,accounting for 28.7％ (31/108).There were 54 cases of children without breastfeeding,accounting for 36％ (54/150),83 children living in rural and suburban areas,accounting for 55.3％ (83/150),87 children with poor health conditions,accounting for 58％ (87/150),112 families had 3 or more family menbers,accounting for 74.7％ (112/150),90 main family caregivers were educated at high school or below,accounting for 60％ (90/150),36 families have kindergarten children in family members and he/she was ill at that time,accounting for 64.3％ (36/56),115 families had no accepted knowledge of HFMD,accounting for 76.7％ (115/150).Conclusions The etiology of HFMD in Hangzhou in 2016 is mainly other enterovirus,and family factors may have certain correlation in the pathogenesis and transmission of HFMD.
