Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo realize the epidemiological and drug-resistance characteristics of dysentery during 1990 to 2003 in Beijing.
METHODSThe group's characteristics of dysentery were described and analysed by using descriptive study method. Drug sensitivity tests were performed with Kirby-Bauer method recommended by WHO, and data were analyzed with SPSS statistic software.
RESULTSAverage incidence rate was 222.24 /100 000 and incidence rate was high in children and in urban areas. The period of high incidence was found in July 16 to August 3. The equation of index-curve forecast model was gained as Y = e (5.816-0.5845x. It showed some value in predicting the tendency of dysentery. Shigella was sensitive to quinolones and cephalosporins, and there was no significant differences between the middle and high grade in these two kinds of antibiotics.
CONCLUSIONIt should be taken as a measurement for the period of high incidence of dysentery.
