ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the epidemiology and pathogenic characteristics of enterovirus in children with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Guangyuan area, and to provide a basis for the development of HFMD prevention and control strategies. Methods A total of 759 children with HFMD clinically diagnosed in Guangyuan area from January 2019 to January 2021 were randomly selected. The seasonal, age, gender, regional distribution and pathogen distribution characteristics of HFMD were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods. Results The incidence of HFMD was seasonal and presented a typical bimodal distribution, with the summer peak occurring from April to July (χ2=8.714, P2=7.542, P2=5.915, P2=8.455, P2=5.174, P<0.05). A total of 388 HFMD cases were tested positive for viral nucleic acid, with a positive rate of 51.12%, In mild cases, Cox A16, EV71, and other enteroviruses accounted for 27.64%, 29.54% and 29.54%, respectively. The proportion of EV71 in severe cases was 89.47%. Conclusion HFMD is widely distributed in Guangyuan area, with obvious seasonal and population differences. The prevention and control of HFMD should be strengthened in key areas, high incidence seasons and key populations, and the vaccination of children ≤3 years old should be further promoted to prevent the outbreak of HFMD.
