Abstract:
Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical features of viral pathogen of acute respiratory tract infection(ARTI)in children in Suzhou. To provide the evidence-based medicine for early warning,diagnosis and treatment of respiratory tract infection in children. Methods The study population comprised of all the children ranging from 28 days to 15 years old with ARTI admitted to Department of Respiration,the Childrenˊs Hospital Affiliated to Soo-chow University,between January 2006 and December 2015. The study cases were divided into 4 age groups based on ages(28 days to <1 year old,1- <3 years old,3- <5 years old and ≥5 years old). The nasopharyngeal aspirates and medical history were obtained by qualified medical personnel. Seven kinds of common respiratory virus were detec-ted by using the direct immunofluorescence. Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP),chlamydia pneumonia(CP)and human bo-cavirus(hBoV)were detected by adopting fluorescence quantitative PCR. Human rhinovirus(HRV)and human metap-neumovirus(hMPV)were detected by means of reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction( RT -PCR). Sputum was cultured for bacteria. Results In 21 624 cases,17 618 cases were detected,and the positive detection rate of virus was 30. 74%(5 416 cases). The highest detection rate of virus was 44. 25%(881/1 991 cases)in 2011 in the 10 years. There were 3 317 cases of single virus pathogen infection,accounting for 18. 83%. Among them,respiratory syn-cytial virus(RSV)was the first with 9. 42%(1 660/17 618 cases),followed by HRV(5. 17%,278/5 372 cases), hBoV(3. 12%,351/11 263 cases),Pinf 3(2. 17%,383/17 618 cases),and the lowest rate was Pinf 2 with 0. 05%(8/17 618 cases). There were 2 099 cases of overlap infection,accounting for 11. 91%. The virus combined with bacte-rial infection accounted for 7. 86%(1 384/17 618 cases),which had the most positive cases. With the increase of age, the single virus pathogen infection rate gradually dropped. The highest detection rate was 22. 82%(1 976/8 656 cases) in the group between 28 days and <1 year old,and the lowest detection rate was 7. 81%(159/2 035 cases)of children over 5 years of age. The virus positive rate of the four seasons was 18. 28%(833/4 556 cases),13. 86%(625/4 508 cases),5. 91%(684/4 298 cases),27. 68%(1 178/4 256 cases),respectively,and detection rate in winter was the highest,and the least in summer. In the single virus infection,bronchiolitis had the highest percentage(36. 32%,25/69 cases),and the least rate was 5. 83%(63/1 080 cases)of lobar pneumonia. Conclusions Monitored for 10 years of the virus respiratory infection in Suzhou area,RSV,HRV and hBoV turned out to play an important role in respiratory tract infection in children. The children less than 3 years old are the most susceptible to virus infection. The epidemic season of each virus is different and characteristic.
