Abstract

Objective To understand the infection type and etiological characteristics of HFMD in Pingdingshan city,2012-2013,so as to provide scientific basis for HFMD control and prevention.Methods Feces or throat swab specimens were collected from clinically diagnosed cases with HFMD.The real-time fluorescent RT-PCR was used to detect Enterovirus,Enterovirus 71(EV71)and Coxsackievirus A16(CA16).Results Among the 658 cases,510(77.51% )cases were Enterovirus positive.The main pathogen of HFMD in 2012 and 2013 was EV71(52.35% ) and CA16(32.25% )respectively.91.79% of the confirmed cases were less than 4 years old.The ratio of male to female was 1.46∶1.Conclusion EV71 and CA16 are the major pathogens of HFMD in Pingdingshan city,HFMD has obvious difference in season and population,measures of prevention and control should be taken for specific populations during the epidemic season.
