Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and laboratory test results of surveillance cases of hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)in Changsha from 2021 to 2022,and to provide a scientific basis for formulating strategies for prevention and control.Methods Clinical diagnostic case samples of hand,foot,and mouth disease from designated hospitals in the jurisdiction of Changsha city from 2021 to 2022.Real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect viral nucleic acid.Epidemiological descriptive method was used to analyze the basic information and test results statistically.Results A total of 1 159 samples of HFMD were tested from 2021 to 2022,with a virus nucleic acid positivity rate of 54.36%(630/1 159).Among them,the positivity rate of other enteroviruses was 27.78%(322/1 159),the positivity rate of the CV-A16 virus was 26.66%(309/1 159),and the positivity rate of the EV-A71 virus was 0.09%(1/1 159).The surveillance cases were mainly in two age groups:>0-3 and>3-6.The maximum age of patients was 31 years old,and the mini-mum age was one month.There was a statistically significant difference in the positive detection rate of other entero-viruses among different age groups(14.29%-32.72%),x2=15.687,P=0.001.The peak of CV-A16 virus infection occurred from March to July(accounting for 75.73%,234/309),while other enteroviruses were more prevalent throughout the year.EV-A71 virus infection remained at a low level.Conclusions The dominant pathogens of hand,foot,and mouth disease in Changsha city from 2021 to 2022 are CV-A16 and other enteroviruses,and the infec-tion of other enteroviruses shows an increasing trend.Therefore,comprehensive prevention and control strategies such as surveillance and prevention of other enteroviruses and CV-A16 virus,health promotion,and education should be implemented for>0-6 years age group.
