Abstract：Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in Longgang District, Shenzhen City so as to provide scientific evidence for HFMD prevention and control. Methods:Monitoring data were retrospectively collected for descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results:A total of 30,160 HFMD cases were reported between 2012 and 2013, with an average annual incidence rate of 385.70/100,000. Scattered children, especially those 1 year of age were at high risk for HFMD, and male cases were more than those of female, with a male to female ratio of 1.59:1. There were significant changes existed on the epidemic curve in 2012-2013 compared with previous years, and the severe incidence in 2013 was significantly lower than that in 2012 (χ2=9.221, P=0.002). The laboratory monitoring results showed that other enterovirus infections (68.33%, 233/341) except EV71 and CA16 were predominant during 2012-2013, and CA6 (56.22%, 131/233) was the common virus. Most severe cases and death cases were caused by EV71. There were 18 outbreaks happened at child care institutions, and the duration time of the outbreaks were impacted by the disposal promptness of outbreaks (X2), the total cases (X3) and the exposed population (X4), (Y=0.586+0.478X2+0.630X3-0.013X4, R2=0.503, F=10.113, P=0.000). Conclusions:The changes of the epidemic curve of HFMD in Longgang District, Shenzhen City in 2012-2013 are correlated with the variation in the spectrum of pathogens, and the timely reporting and disposal of HFMD outbreaks, especially occurred in nurseries play important roles in HFMD prevention and control.
