Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the running status of Qinghai provincial hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) laboratory network in 2017.
MethodsThe surveillance database developed in Qinghai provincial HFMD laboratory network in 2017 were analyzed, and the indicators for the running status of HFMD laboratory network in Qinghai province were evaluated.
ResultsIt was shown that 574 samples of suspected HFMD cases were detected by real time RT-PCR in 2017, and 368 were positive, the positive rate was 64.11%. Then 121 virus strains were isolated, the results of sequencing and analysis showed that 100 strains were EV71 with C4a genotype, 16 strains were CA16 with B1b genotype, and 5 strains belonged to the other enterovirus. In addition, Qinghai provincial HFMD network labs passed all the confirmatory test and proficiency test, and on-site review held by national HFMD laboratory in 2017, respectively.
ConclusionsQinghai provincial HFMD laboratory network has been established and running well. It provided important scientific basis for HFMD surveillance in Qinghai province.
