Analysis on epidemiological characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Jinan from 2005 to 2022
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis(AHC)in Jinan be-tween 2005 and 2022,so as to provide evidence on monitoring,prevention and control of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.Methods Data on the incidence of AHC in Jinan from 2005 to 2022 were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System.The descriptive epidemiological method was employed to analyze the collected data.Re-sults A total of 835 AHC cases were reported in in Jinan during 2005 and 2022,with an average annual incidence of 0.65/105.There were two peaks in 2010 and 2019 respectively,while the incidence remained at a low level during other periods;The annual incidence rate in the central urban area was significantly higher than that in the non-central urban area(x2=58.16,P＜0.001);Most of the cases occurred from August to October,and most of them occurred in September,ac-counting for 25.27％;The annual incidence rate in male was significantly higher than that in female(x2=29.81,P＜0.001);79.04％of the patients were under 50 years old,and 20.24％of the patients were between 21 and 30 years old at most;The main occupations are farmers,students,workers,preschool children and scattered children.The number and proportion of the students'cases decreased year by year(x2=84.15,P＜0.001).The number and proportion of farmers in-creased year by year(x2=173.90,P＜0.001);76.05％of the cases could be diagnosised within 3 days.The timeliness of diagnosis in the scattered children was significantly lower than that of the students,farmers,workers and preschool chil-dren(x2=32.29,P=0.001).Conclusions The AHC epidemic in Jinan between 2005 and 2022 are kept at a low level of incidence in generally.There were no occurence of large-scale outbreaks every few years.The active surveillance of epide-miology and etiology should be carried out in time,and preventive measures should be strengthened to prevent the occur-rence of clustering epidemic situation.
