Abstract:
Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of norovirus (NV) and rotavirus (RV) in children with diarrhea. Methods In this study, fecal specimens of 2 135 children with diarrhea admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were collected. The infection of NV and RV virus was detected by immunochromatography and ELISA, respectively. The epidemiological characteristics of RV virus. Results The total positive detection rate of 1 388 children was 65.01% (1 388/2 135), and the positive detection rate of RV virus was 34.52% (651/2 135), which was higher than 30.49% (737/2 135) of NV virus (χ2=7.895, P<0.05); there is no difference in the positive detection rate of NV virus among children of different genders (P>0.05), the positive detection rate of RV in males is 61.74%, higher than that of females 38.26% (χ2=25.318 , P<0.001); the age of children infected with NV and RV viruses are within 2 years old, and the cumulative positive detection rates are 64.21% (418/651) and 60.92% (449/737), which is higher than other ages (χ2=35.791, P<0.001); the high incidence season of NV virus is mainly winter, and the cumulative positive detection rate from October to December is 81.26% (529/651), higher than other seasons (χ2=173.426 , P<0.001), the high incidence season of RV virus is mainly spring and winter, the cumulative positive detection rate from November to March of the next year is 87.11% (642/737), higher than other seasons (χ2=252.628, P<0.001). Conclusion Spring and winter are the seasons of high incidence of viral diarrhea in children. Close monitoring of children under 2 years of age should be strengthened to prevent viral diarrhea early.
