Title: Pathogenic Distribution of Childhood Diarrhea in Shenzhen Area from 2004 to 2006
Abstract: Objective To study the pathogenic distribution of childhood diarrhea in Shenzhen area during the year of 2004-2006.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay(ELISA) was used to detect rotavirus(RV) antigen from Jan.2004 to Apr.2005 on stool specimens,and the rest stool specimens were detected for RV with colloidal gold test from May 2005 to Dec.2006.Fungous enteritis were diagnosed under 40× microscope,and mycelials and spores were found simultaneously,bacillary dysentery were diagnosed under 40× microscope and white blood cell and red blood cell were found simultaneously,amebic dysentery was diagnosed under 40× microscope being found lively entamoeba histolytica(trophozoite or inwrap).Uncertain diarrheas was considered apart from the other 4 sorts of diarrheas.Results RV diarrhea mostly occurred from Oct.to next Feb.Every year,but from Jun.to Jul.it happened,too,totally occupying 40.49%.Fungous enteritis occurrence was not necessarily season-regulated,only occupying 3.59%.Bacillary dysentery were obviously turned up from Jun.to Sep.every year,occupying 39.67%.Amebic dysentery was detected only 10 specimens,only one was found in spring,the rest all were taken place in summer,taking up 0.03%.Uncertain diarrheas were major come about in Dec.to next Mar.occupying 16.24%.Diarrhea happened mostly at the age of 1 to 2 years old,occuping 24.83%(8 287/33 382 cases),and it happened least at less than 6 months occupying 6.65%(2 217/33 382 cases).Conclusions The sorts of childhood diarrhea represents the features of cross infection and seasonal occurrence,and complicated and diverse factors.It is a very important step to prevent acute diarrheas with imposing health of food and environment,cutting off spreading-path,improving infants and young children′ initiative immune levels.
