Abstract:
Objective:To illuminate the epidemic characteristics of Yersiniosis among children in the central city of Beijing and the accuracy of current clinical diagnosis towards Yersiniosis.
Methods:Etiological surveillance of diarrheal patients, a total of 3 493 cases, was performed in a children hospital in central area of Beijing from 2011 to 2018 continuously. Collected the epidemiological and clinical information of the cases, analyzed the clinical and etiological diagnosis for Yersiniosis and bacterial dysentery and compared the distribution of Yersiniosis cases with the different symptoms.
Results:A total of 3 493 acute diarrhea cases distributed from the age of 6 months to 13 years old, M (P25, P75) was 1.50 (0.75, 3.17) years old. The 28 cases were isolated Yersinia enterocolitica (isolation rate of 0.80%) and they could be diagnosed as Yersiniosis by etiology. The isolation peaked in May and February. A total of 85.71% (24/28) of Yersiniosis cases were under 5-year old. The children of 3-4 age group had the highest isolation rate (1.52%) while the rate (0.18%) of 0-1 age group was the lowest (P=0.025). The Yersinia enteroclitica isolation rates of diarrheal patients with the symptoms including mucus feces, fever, white blood cell (WBC) and red blood cell (RBC) in feces were higher than the patients without these symptoms (P>0.05). The 9 of 28 Yersiniosis cases by etiology diagnosis were clinical diagnosed as bacillary dysentery.
Conclusion:The infants and young children under 5-year old were the main population of Yersiniosis adolescent patients under 14-year old. The typical symptoms characterized with mucus stool, fever, WBC and RBC by routine microscopic examination. The preliminary clinical diagnosis of Yersiniosis is easily confused with bacterial dysentery.
