Hand-foot-mouth disease in Guangzhou increased in one and a half months1.65,438+0,000 cases.

On the 5th, Yu Meng (pseudonym), who lives in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, was playing games with her daughter when she suddenly found a lot of blisters on her palm. Yu Meng took the child's temperature and found a little fever, so she took her daughter to the hospital. After a doctor's examination, Yu Meng's daughter was finally diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease.

Active pathogens lead to early high incidence.

Yu Meng told reporters that there are many children like daughters in the hospital. About 9 children with hand, foot and mouth disease were diagnosed within two hours before and after treatment, with an average age of about 5 years.

According to Yang Zhicong, deputy director of Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, hand, foot and mouth disease in Guangzhou has entered a high incidence period. On April 17, the cumulative number of cases of hand, foot and mouth disease announced by the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention was more than 4,000. Less than a month later, this number rose to 15000. "In the last month, especially in the last two weeks, the number of cases of hand, foot and mouth disease has soared like an arrow." Yang Zhicong said.

In the past, the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Guangzhou was mostly concentrated in April-September, and the peak period was June-July. Why is this year's high-end period obviously ahead of schedule? Yang Zhicong analyzed that the main reason is that the activity of hand, foot and mouth disease is relatively strong this year, which is also related to factors such as hot weather and little rain.

The reporter learned in an interview with the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention that hand, foot and mouth disease came early this year in Guangdong, and the proportion of severe cases and deaths increased by 60%. He Jianwei, chief expert of the provincial CDC, said that after entering this year, taking 3-4 years as a cycle, it returned to the year when EV7 1 Enterovirus 7 1 was the main epidemic strain. Judging from the received death cases of hand, foot and mouth disease, it is mainly caused by EV7 1 virus. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to whether their children have herpes on their hands and feet. If they have a fever and feel depressed for several days in a row, they must see a doctor.

There are not many cluster cases in kindergartens.

A week ago, this newspaper reported that more than a dozen children in a kindergarten in Taihe Town, Baiyun District were infected with hand, foot and mouth disease. Many parents worry that kindergartens will become an epidemic area of hand, foot and mouth disease.

Yang Zhicong said that among the more than 5,000 cases of/kloc-0 that they monitored, only 100 was a cluster case similar to an outbreak in a kindergarten, and most of the other children were scattered at home. It is worth mentioning that there are no serious cases and deaths in Guangzhou at present.

Another person in charge of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention appealed that if the child is diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease, parents should take the initiative to inform the attending doctor of the detailed information of the child's condition (including the time and place of onset, the child's name, age, and who he has been in contact with). ), so that the disease control department can monitor and formulate measures to effectively control the spread of the epidemic.
