OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogenic and clinical presentation and laboratory tests of bullous rash in hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Xi'an from January 2013 to December 2014 by retrospective analysis.
METHODA total of 224 specimens were collected from clinically diagnosed HFMD cases who were characterized by widespread mucocutaneous bullous reactions in Xi'an Children's Hospital from January 2013 to December 2014, the identification and subtyping of the isolates were conducted with real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. A retrospective analysis was performed to analyze the clinical presentation, laboratory tests and late follow-up problems of the HFMD.
RESULTIn the clinically diagnosed HFMD cases who were characterized by widespread mucocutaneous bullous reactions, 207 were caused by coxsackievirus A6 (CA6), accounting for 92. 4% of all cases with bullous, 4 were caused by enterovirus 71 (EV71), accounting for 1.8%, 10 were caused by coxsackievirus A16 (CA16), accounting for 4. 5%; 4 cases were negative for these viruses. In the cases positive for intestinal virus-nucleic acid, 130 were male, 90 were female; male to female ratio was 1. 44: 1, 203 were <5 years old, accounting for 92. 3%. Leukocytosis was found in 75 cases (34. 1%); high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) increased in 200 cases (90. 9%); elevated myocardial enzyme CK-MB was found in 35 cases (15. 9%), alanine aminotransferase increased in 15 cases (6. 8%); 187 cases had fever (85. 0%). None of the cases had serious complications such as encephalitis or myocarditis. In the course of the critical phase bullous rash or large vesicle-like changes, obvious itching, and facial rash appeared. After the fluid in the bullae was absorbed or the bullae ruptured or became ulcerated, scar formation and large areas of exfoliation occurred, with no effusion on the newly formed epithelium in the base, without significant pigmentation on later follow-up. In the late follow up process, 52 cases in CA6-positive patients (25. 1%) developed onychomadesis within 2-4 weeks after onset, 1 to 8 nails, an average of 4. 3 fell off, new nails grew, the nail bed showed no structural abnormalities and hyperplasia after falling off, the surface was smooth, had no hypertrophy, left no sequelae.
CONCLUSIONThe pathogen in HFMD characterized by widespread bullous reactions was mainly the CA6, this kind of HFMD was mainly mild type, with significant itching, later the bullae may have scar formation and skin exfoliation, in some cases onychomadesis may occur.

Objective:To investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Clostridioides difficile ( Cd) in hospitalized diarrhea patients in a tertiary hospital in Shaanxi Province. Methods:This study collected 425 stool samples of hospitalized diarrhea patients from October 2018 to December 2021 for isolation and identification of Cd. Toxin genes carried by the isolates were detected. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was performed to analyze the phylogenetic profile. Antibiotic susceptibility was analyzed by E-test. Results:Forty-nine strains of Cd were isolated from the 425 samples, including 37 strains of toxigenic Cd (75.5%, 37/49). The detection rate of Cd was 14.0% (25/179) in diarrhea patients aged ≥65 years old and 36.4% (4/11) in Nephrology Department. In the 37 toxigenic Cd strains, A -B + CDT -Cd, A + B + CDT -Cd and A + B + CDT +Cd accounted for 18.9% (7/37), 78.4% (29/37) and 2.7% (1/37), respectively. There were 24 ST types, among which ST2, ST3 and ST54 were the predominant types, each accounting for 12.2% (6/49). All strains were sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin, with a high resistance rate of 93.9% (46/49) to ciprofloxacin and a low resistance rate of 12.2% (6/49) and 10.2% (5/49) to rifampicin and meropenem, respectively. Conclusions:The main type of toxigenic strains was A + B + CDT -. ST2, ST3 and ST54 were the predominant types and the distribution of ST types was scattered. All isolates were sensitive to metronidazole and vancomycin and most of them were resistant to ciprofloxacin.
