Objectives This study aims to understand the epidemiological characteristics and pathogen distribution characteristics of other infectious diarrhea in Xi'an to provide a basis for prevention and control policies.Methods Information on other infectious diarrhea cases in a tertiary hospital in Xi'an from January 1,2015 to December 31,2022 were collected.Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and pathogen spectrum composition characteristics.Results A total of 38,653 other infectious diarrhea cases were reported from January 1,2015 to December 31,2022.The incidence peak was mainly from November to February of the next year,accounting for 51.90％(20,077/38,653).The sex ratio of male to female incidence was 1.26.The age of onset was mainly 0-6 years old,accounting for 86.26％(33,342/38,653).The occupation is mainly composed of scattered children,with a composition ratio of 76％(29376/38653).Confirmed cases accounted for 53.77％(20,782 out of 38,653)of the total cases,mainly due to virus infection.Among these cases,rotavirus was the most common,accounting for 94.43％(18,853 out of 19,966).Conclusions The onset of other infectious diarrhea typically occurs between 0 and 6 years of age,with rotavirus being the most common cause.Strengthening the dissemination of knowledge about rotavirus prevention is essential,and vaccination against rotavirus should be administered to children aged 0 to 6 as early as possible.
