Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare parasitosis caused by the pathogen . There is an increase in the number of cases in many countries. The aim of the study was to investigate the current prevalence and the change in the geographical distribution pattern.
Data were collected retrospectively for the period 1992-2018 using the registered cases in the national disease register for AE in Germany. Statistical analysis was performed using the SAS statistical analysis system version 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, N.C., USA).
The study population of n=569 patients included n=322 (56,59%) women and n=247 (43,40%) men. The mean average age of patients with alveolar echinococcosis at first presentation was 53,90±17,54 years (median: 56,00 years). The Moran's I test statistic showed a positive spatial autocorrelation for the period 1992-2018 corresponding to a heterogeneous distribution of disease cases in Germany (I=0,4165; Z=10,9591, p=0,001). An increase in age- and sex-specific prevalence could be determined for the entire study period (1992-2018). The overall prevalence in the period 1992-2018 was 0,71 cases per 100,000 population. The determination of the prevalence for the period 1992-2018 resulted in 0,31 cases for men and 0,40 cases for women per 100,000 population. In the period 1992-1996, no AE cases had been registered in 11/16 (68,8%) federal states (Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein und Thüringen). The evaluation recently shows an increased occurrence of cases in the federal states of Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westfalen.
The analysis shows a rise in prevalence and an increasing number of cases outside the classic endemic areas of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
肺泡型棘球蚴病(AE)是由病原体引起的一种罕见寄生虫病。许多国家的病例数都在增加。本研究的目的是调查当前的患病率以及地理分布模式的变化。
回顾性收集1992年至2018年期间德国国家疾病登记册中登记的AE病例数据。使用SAS统计分析系统9.4版(美国北卡罗来纳州卡里的SAS研究所)进行统计分析。
研究人群为569例患者,其中女性322例(56.59%),男性247例(43.40%)。肺泡型棘球蚴病患者首次就诊时的平均年龄为53.90±17.54岁(中位数:56.00岁)。莫兰指数(Moran's I)检验统计量显示,1992年至2018年期间存在正空间自相关,这与德国疾病病例的异质分布相对应(I = 0.4165;Z = 10.9591,p = 0.001)。在整个研究期间(1992年至2018年),可以确定特定年龄和性别的患病率有所增加。1992年至2018年期间的总体患病率为每10万人口0.71例。1992年至2018年期间,男性患病率为每10万人口0.31例,女性为0.40例。在1992年至1996年期间,16个联邦州中的11个(68.8%)(柏林、勃兰登堡、不来梅、汉堡、梅克伦堡-前波美拉尼亚、莱茵兰-普法尔茨、萨尔州、萨克森、萨克森-安哈尔特、石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因和图林根)没有登记AE病例。最近的评估显示,黑森州、莱茵兰-普法尔茨州和北莱茵-威斯特法伦州的病例发生率有所增加。
分析表明,患病率有所上升,且在巴登-符腾堡州和巴伐利亚州等传统流行地区以外的病例数也在增加。
