Explore the epidemiological characteristics and current status of pathogens in non-severe respiratory infec-tions in the Yinghuai area in 2023
Objective To retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of non-severe respiratory pathogen infection in the Yinghuai area.Methods From January 2023 to December 2023,1238 patients with typi-cal respiratory infection symptoms were included in the Taihe Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Jieshou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Through more than 20 kinds of etiological examinations,the epidemiological characteristics and current situation of patients with respiratory infection in the Yinghuai area were retrospectively investigated.Results The total positive rate of re-spiratory pathogens was 59.94%(742/1238 cases),the positive rate of mycoplasma pneumonia was 49.35%(611/1238 cases),accounting for 82.35%of positive cases(611/742 cases);the positive rate of bacteria was 17.69%(219/1238 cases),accounting for 29.51%(219/742 cases);the positive rate of virus was 12.52%(155/1238 ca-ses),accounting for 20.89%(155/742 cases).Among all pathogen types,the top 5 classified are Mycoplasma pneumoniae(611 cases),influenza A virus(109 cases),influenza B virus(84 cases),Klebbacter pneumoniae(68 cases),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(68 cases).Single pathogen infection accounted for71.83%(533/742 cases)of positive cases,and mixed infection accounted for 28.17%(209/742 cases).In November,March,October,and December,the detection rate was high(P<0.05),and the detection rate in the real-year group and the elderly group was low(P<0.05).The analysis results of the disordered and multi-classified Logistic regression model sug-gest that the three factors of age,sex,and time of onset affect the number of infections to varying degrees.Conclu-sion From January 2023 to December 2023,the positive detection rate of pathogens of non-severe respiratory infec-tious diseases in the Yinghuai area was relatively high.The pathogen infection is mainly pneumoniae mycoplasma,bacterial and viral infections are reduced,and some patients have mixed infections.In winter and spring,the positive detection rate of pathogens is relatively high,the detection rate of elderly people is low,and the time,age,and gen-der will affect the mixed infection rate of pathogens.
