Abstract:Objective To describe the epidemiological and pathogen features of diarrheal patients in Baoshan District,then put forward preventive and treatment work of enteric infectious disease.Methods Disease surveillance was conducted in the intestinal outpatient of monitoring hospital.The diarrhea cases were randomly selected,and stool samples were collected from these cases for bacteriological and virological detections.Pathogenic bacteria of stool positive culture were tested against antimicrobial agents.Results A total of 2486 cases of diarrhea disease were detected in two monitoring hospitals, 2014. The incidence rates showed notable seasonal variation. Among 380 stool samples detected, 179 were pathogen positive (47.11%). Four kinds of bacteria, including Escherichia coli (61 cases, 57.14%), Salmonella (10 cases, 17.68%), Escherichia coli (10 cases, 17.68%) and four kinds of viruses, including norovirus (98 cases, 69.50%) and rotavirus (20 cases, 14.18%), were detected. The bacterium positive rate was 14.74% and the virus positive rate was 37.11%. The most of cases in summer were infected by bacterial, winter and spring by virus infection. Four types of bacteria had varying degrees of resistance to common antibiotics. Conclusions The pathogen spectrum of infectious diarrhea was wide and related seasonality was obvious in Baoshan District, Shanghai. It was necessary to take pathogen and season specific prevention and control measures.
