Abstract
Objective
To study the prevalence trends and etiology of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in hospitalized children.
Methods
The clinical data of 11 510 cases of children hospitalized with HFMD from 2008 to 2017 in Department of Infection Diseases of Kunming Children′s Hospital were collected, and to retrospectively analyze the characteristics, time distribution and pathogen distribution of the cases.
Results
Of the 11 510 children with HFMD, 6 100 were male and 5 410 were female. There were 9 814 cases under 3 years old, 1 696 over 3 years old. HFMD occurred throughout the year. The peak months of the disease were April to July, with the time distribution of single peak. There were 4 690 severe cases and 3 452 critical cases, accounting for 70.34%. The main pathogens detected were enteroviruses A71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and other enteroviruses (EV), with 3 803 cases (36.02%), 1 122 cases (10.63%) and 3 401 cases (32.21%) respectively. EV-A71 and CV-A16 infections dominated from 2008 to 2013, while EV-A71 and other EV infection dominated from 2014 to 2017.
Conclusions
EV-A71, CV-A16 and other EV are the main pathogens of HFMD in Kunming. Critical HFMD cases are mainly caused by EV-A71 infection.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases was founded in February 1983. It is an academic journal on infectious diseases supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association. The journal targets infectious disease physicians as its main readers, taking into account physicians of other interdisciplinary disciplines, and timely reports on leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of infectious diseases, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in the clinical practice of infectious diseases and is closely integrated with the actual clinical practice of infectious diseases. Columns include reviews (including editor-in-chief reviews), expert lectures, consensus and guidelines (including interpretations), monographs, short monographs, academic debates, epidemic news, international dynamics, case reports, reviews, lectures, meeting minutes, etc.
