Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To understand the prevalence of non-bacterial pathogens infections among the children who were hospitalized in pediatrics department due to acute respiratory tract infections(ARTI)from 2020 to 2024.METHODS The children who were hospitalized in pediatrics department of Lishui People's Hospital due to ARTI from Mar.2020 to Feb.2024 were enrolled in the study,the results of tests of 13 items of respiratory tract patho-gens for the children were retrospectively analyzed.The positive isolation rates of respiratory tract pathogens and epidemiological characteristics were observed and compared among the children according to the gender,age and season.RESULTS A total of 12,291 children were enrolled in the study,6508 of whom were tested positive for re-spiratory tract pathogens,and the total positive isolation rate was 52.95％.Rhinovirus(HRV),Mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)ranked the top 3 pathogens tested positive.The total positive rate of isolation of the male children was 54.43％(3707/6810),higher than 51.10％(2801/5481)of the female children(x2=13.524,P＜0.001);the positive rates of HRV and RSV of the male children were higher than those of the female children(P＜0.05),while the positive rate of MP of the female children was higher than that of the male children(P＜0.05).There was significant difference in the total positive rate of isolation of respirato-ry tract pathogens among the age groups(x2=59.924,P＜0.001).The positive rates of RSV,HRV and MP of the infant group,the toddler group,the preschool age group and the school age group were relatively high.The total positive rate of isolation of the respiratory tract pathogens showed an upward trend with the change of sea-sons(x2=145.887,P＜0.001);there was significant difference in the prevalence of pathogens among the seasons(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS HRV,MP and RSV are dominant among the respiratory tract non-bacterial patho-gens isolated from the children who are hospitalized in Lishui People's Hospital from 2020 to 2024.There are sig-nificant differences in the positive rates of the respiratory tract pathogens among the genders,age,and seasons.
