摘要

背景:在过去十年中，尼日利亚东南部胃肠炎死亡人数激增已成为一个令人关注的问题。本文以阿南布拉州为例，研究了报告的儿童肠胃炎病例和相关死亡病例的趋势，以期绘制其空间格局和潜在原因。数据来源和方法:从选定的21个研究地点的可用生活水源中收集水样，分析需氧异养计数、总大肠菌群、粪便大肠菌群和肠球菌，并与来自国家流行病学监测单位的胃肠炎数据进行回归。结果:结果表明，2004年至2008年期间，尼日利亚东南部阿南布拉州记录的肠胃炎病例接近流行病的58,269例，具有一定的空间格局，呈聚集性发生，在Idemili北/南选区死亡人数最多，达287人。该研究进一步表明，饮用受污染的水是导致疾病传播的原因。结论:建议采取洗手习惯、食品卫生、适当的废物管理和提供基本基础设施，以改善人口的健康状况，以遏制肠胃炎的传播。

Mapping incidents of infant mortality arising from gastroenteritis: a case study from South-East Nigeria

Background: The upsurge of deaths from gastroenteritis in South-East Nigeria within the last decade has become an issue of concern. Using Anambra State as a case study, this paper examined the trend of reported cases of gastroenteritis and associated fatalities among children with a view to mapping the spatial pattern and underlying causes. Data source and methods: Water samples collected from the available domestic sources in each of the selected 21 study localities were analyzed for aerobic heterotrophic count, total coliform, faecal coliform and enterococci, and regressed with gastroenteritis data sourced from the State epidemiological surveillance unit. Results: The results showed that the near-epidemic 58,269 incidents of gastroenteritis recorded in Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria between 2004 and 2008 had a spatial pattern and occurred in clusters with the highest number of 287 deaths occurring in Idemili North/South constituency. The study further showed that the consumption of contaminated water was responsible for the spread of the disease Conclusion: Hand washing practices, food hygiene, proper waste management, and the provision of basic infrastructure for improved health outcomes among the population are suggested inorder to curb the spread of gastroenteritis.
