Abstract

Objective To investigate the etiological characteristics of hand,foot and mouth disease( HFMD) from 2009 to 2011 in Shenyang and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of HFMD. Methods One hundred and twenty-three fecal specimens were collected from HFMD patients in 2009,264 fecal specimens were collected from HFMD patients in 2010 and 142 fecal specimens were collected from HFMD patients in 2011 respectively. All the specimens were tested for enterovirus by RT-PCR. Results There were 78 human enterovirus positive specimens in 2009,232 enterovirus positive specimens in 2010 and 129 enterovirus positive specimens in 2011,in which EV71 accounted for 42. 3%,48. 3%,67. 4% respectively, CoxA16 accounted for 2. 6%,37. 9%,10. 9% respectively,while other untyped enterovirus accounted for 55. 1%,12. 5%, 21. 7% respectively. Conclusion EV71 and CoxA16 were dominant pathogens of HFMD in Shenyang from 2009 to 2011.
