RESUMO
Objective To analyze the viral etiologies of hospitalized pneumonia patients aged less than five years in six provinces during 2009-2012,and to describe the seasonality of the detected viral etiologies. Methods Eight hospitals were selected in six provinces from a national acute respiratory infection surveillance network. Demographic information,clinical history and physical examination,and laboratory testing results of the enrolled hospitalized patients aged less than five years with pneumonia,including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),human influenza virus, adenoviruses(ADV),human parainfluenza virus(PIV),human metapneumovirus(hMPV),human coronavirus(hCoV)and human bocavirus(hBoV)were analyzed. The viral etiology spectrum of the enrolled patients was analyzed by age-group,year,and seasonality of the detected viral etiologies were described. Results 4 508 hospitalized children less than five years old,with pneumonia from 8 hospitals were included,and 2 688(59.6%)patients were positive for at least one viral etiology. The most frequent detected virus was RSV(21.3%),followed by PIV(7.1%)and influenza(5.2%),hBoV (3.8%),ADV(3.6%)and hMPV(2.6%). The lowest positive rates in hCoV(1.1%). RSV,influenza, PIV,hBoV and hMPV all showed the nature of seasonality. Conclusion RSV was a most common viral etiology in the hospitalized young children less than 5 years of age with pneumonia. Prevention measures should be conducted to decrease its severe impact to the young infants and children in China.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Providing evidences for further modification of China Infectious Diseases Automated-alert and Response System (CIDARS) via analyzing the outbreak detection performance of Moving Percentile Method (MPM) by optimizing thresholds in different provinces.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We collected the amount of MPM signals, response results of signals in CIDARS, cases data in nationwide Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting Information System, and outbreaks data in Public Health Emergency Reporting System of 16 infectious diseases in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland from January 2011 to October 2013. The threshold with the optimal sensitivity, the shortest time to detect outbreak and the least number of signals was considered as the best threshold of each disease in Chinese mainland and in each province.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among all the 16 diseases, the optimal thresholds of 10 diseases, including dysentery, dengue, hepatitis A, typhoid and paratyphoid, meningococcal meningitis, Japanese encephalitis, scarlet fever, leptospirosis, hepatitis, typhus in country level were the 90(th) percentile (P90), which was the same as provincial level for those diseases.For the other 6 diseases, including other infectious diarrhea, influenza, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, mumps, rubella and epidemic hemorrhagic fever, the nationwide optimal thresholds were the 80th percentile (P80), which was different from that by provinces for each disease. For these 6 diseases, the number of signals generated by MPM with the optimal threshold for each province was decreased by 23.71% (45 557), 15.59% (6 124), 14.07% (1 870), 9.44% (13 881), 8.65% (1 294) and 6.03% (313) respectively, comparing to the national optimal threshold, while the sensitivity and time to detection of CIDARS were still the same.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Optimizing the threshold by different diseases and provinces for MPM in CIDARS could reduce the number of signals while maintaining the same sensitivity and time to detection.</p>
