Objective:
To understand the current status and influencing factors of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among HIV/AIDS cases in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating tuberculosis prevention and control strategies for HIV/AIDS cases.
Methods:
The study included HIV/AIDS cases treated and managed at designated hospitals in Jinhua City between January 2024 and June 2025. General demographic information, lifestyle data, and clinical data were collected through questionnaires and the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The gamma-interferon release assay was used to screen for LTBI. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for LTBI among HIV/AIDS cases.
Results:
A total of 1 480 HIV/AIDS cases were included in the study, comprising 1 052 males (71.08%) and 428 females (28.92%). The majority of cases were aged 45-<65 years, with 643 cases (43.45%). A total of 184 cases of LTBI were detected, representing a detection rate of 12.43%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that a history of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination (OR=2.034, 95%CI: 1.348-3.069), a history of close contact with a pulmonary tuberculosis patient (OR=3.270, 95%CI: 1.353-7.903), and a CD4+ T-lymphocyte count ≥500 cells/mm3 (OR=2.055, 95%CI: 1.003-4.209) were associated with a higher risk of LTBI among HIV/AIDS cases.
Conclusion
The detection rate of LTBI among HIV/AIDS cases in Jinhua City was 12.43%, and it was associated with a history of BCG vaccination, close contact with tuberculosis patients, and CD4+ T-lymphocyte count.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) among migrant population in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2025, so as to provide evidence for optimizing PTB prevention and control strategies among migrant population.
Methods:
The registration information of PTB cases in Jinhua City was extracted from the Tuberculosis Management Information System of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, including gender, occupation, household registration, and case detection approach. A descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the temporal, regional, and population distribution characteristics of PTB cases among the migrant population.
Results:
A total of 9 639 PTB cases among migrant population were registered in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2025, accounting for 28.95% of all PTB cases, with the proportion showing an overall downward trend (P<0.05). The number of PTB cases among the migrant population was relatively high from March to September, with 6 504 cases (67.48%). The proportions of migrant PTB cases relative to all PTB cases were higher in May and June, at 11.03% and 10.26%, respectively. Yiwu City and Yongkang City had the highest number of cases among migrant population, with 4 357 and 1 877 cases, accounting for 45.20% and 19.47%, respectively. There were 5 984 male cases (62.08%) and 3 655 female cases (37.92%). The predominant group was aged 20-<35 years, with 4 934 cases (51.19%). The majority of cases were migrant workers, with 4 041 cases (41.92%). Cases were mainly detected through referral and follow-up, with 6 906 (71.65%) and 1 080 (11.20%) cases.
Conclusions
The proportion of PTB cases among migrant population in Jinhua City showed an overall downward trend from 2016 to 2025, with an epidemic peaking in May and June. Yiwu City and Yongkang City were key areas for prevention and control. Males, young and middle-aged adults, and migrant workers were high-risk groups. Cases were mainly detected through referral and follow-up.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of influenza vaccine in children aged 6-72 months.Methods:The cohort study was conducted based on community child vaccination clinics in Yiwu and Yongkang counties of Zhejiang province. From October 2017 to December 2017, a total of 1 752 children aged 6-72 months were enrolled from 10 child vaccination clinics. The questionnaire survey was conducted after the written consents were obtained from the parents or legal guardians of the children. Then, a follow up was conducted for enrolle children until 30 April 2018, the influenza vaccination status and the number of influenza-like illness (ILI) cases, hospital visit due to ILI, self-medication due to ILI were observed and recorded every month. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated by using the generalized linear model (GLM) where dependent variables were the number of ILI cases, hospital visit and self-medication respectively.Results:Of the 1 752 children, 925 (52.80%) were boys and the median age was 30.00 months. The cumulative observation was 308 166 person days at the end of 2017-2018 season, with 5.27 ILI cases per 1 000 person days, 3.41 hospital visit due to ILI per 1 000 person days, 1.45 self-medication due to ILI per 1 000 person days. Of the 1 752 children, 643 received the influenza vaccination in 2017-2018 season. Compared with unvaccinated children, the VE was 23.5% against ILI case number (95% CI: 15.1%-31.1%), 19.3% against hospital visit due to ILI (95% CI: 8.2%-29.1%) and 25.8% against self-medication due to ILI (95% CI: 9.3%- 39.3%). Modeling splitting 643 children with 2017-2018 vaccination into those before and after vaccination, the influenza VE was 31.9% against ILI case number (95% CI: 12.7%-46.9%), 32.6% against hospital visit due to ILI (95% CI: 8.6%-50.3%) and 44.3% against self-medication due to ILI (95% CI: 11.9%-64.8%) in children aged 36-72 months. However, the children aged 6-35 months showed no significant VEs. For the VE analysis in children with different vaccination status, the VEs were significant if they received vaccination in both 2016-2017 season and 2017-2018 season or only in 2017-2018 seasons. The VE was not demonstrated among the children who were immunized only in 2016-2017 season. Conclusion:Influenza vaccination is moderate effective in preventing the incidence of ILI and hospital visit and self-medication in children in influenza season, the protection effect in children aged 36-72 months is better than that in children aged 6-35 months.

Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccine among children aged 6 to 72 months.
Methods:
The test-negative case control study was conducted based on available surveillance data which was from China Influenza Surveillance Information system (CSIS). From October 2016 to April 2017 and from October 2017 to April 2018,1 161 cases aged 6-72 months with influenza-like illness in Yongkang and Yiwu city, were selected as the study subjects, and the cases with influenza test-positive were selected as the case group (403 cases). Test-negative subjects were selected as control group (758 cases). The etiology and immunization data of the subjects were obtained from CSIS and Immune Information and Management System (IIMS) respectively. Vaccine effectiveness was estimated using multivariate logistic regression model,and the mixed effects of non-randomized control in TNCC study were equalized by using the propensity score (PS) method in the statistical analysis.
Results:
The age of the subjects was (2.44±1.60) years,and there were 681 boys (58.66%). The age of case group was (2.62±1.58) years, and there were 246 boys (61.04%). The case group was including of 237 cases (58.81%) of influenza A (H3N2), 92 cases (22.83%) of influenza A (H1N1) pmd09, 62 cases (15.38%) of influenza B(Victoria) lineage, 11 cases (2.73%) of influenza B (Yamagata) lineage and one case (0.25%) co-infection of influenza [A(H3N2)+B (Victoria)]. The mean age of the control group was (2.35±1.61) years,and there were 435 boys (57.39%). Overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) against all type influenza for two seasons combined was 58% (95

The VE estimate value was 54% (95%CI:16%-75%) against all type influenza and 65% (95%CI:24%-83%) against influenza A (H3N2) during the 2016-2017 season. During the 2017-2018 season, the VE estimate value was 69% (95%CI: 18%-88%) against all type influenza. Conclusion Influenza vaccine is effective in preventing influenza virus infection during the flu season,especially the effect among children aged 36-72 months is higher compared to that among children aged 6-35 months.
