Abstract:
Objective To understand the seasonal and etiological characteristics of the epidemic situation of cluster fever in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of prevention and control strategies. Methods The epidemic data of cluster fever in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2013 to 2021 were collected, and the data were analyzed by concentration degree and circular distribution methods. Results From 2013 to 2021, there were 109 cases of cluster fever reported in Pudong New Area, with primary schools reporting the most cases, 77 cases (70.64%). The M value was 0.59. Circular distribution results showed that angle dispersion index r value was 0.54, the average angle was 357.32°, and the average angle of Rayleigh’s test Z value was 32.07. The peak day was December 28, and the peak period was from October 25 to March 3 of the following year. The cluster of fever in Pudong New Area was mainly caused by influenza virus. Most cases were single pathogen infection, and some were double pathogen infection. Influenza A virus had the highest detection rate in both single pathogen infection and double pathogen infection. Conclusion Primary schools are the focus of prevention and control of the cluster of fever in Pudong New Area. The epidemic situation of cluster fever has a strong seasonal characteristic, and the peak of incidence is from late October to early March of the next year. Respiratory pathogens such as influenza virus are the main causes of the epidemic situation.
