To analyze the epidemic characteristics of the human rhinovirus (HRV) outbreaks in Guangzhou, China, in 2020.
Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the HRV-related outbreaks in Guangzhou, 2020.
Seventeen outbreaks were reported in 2020 during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Guangzhou, a total of 465 patients (290 males and 175 females) were enrolled, with a median age of 10. A total of 223 (47.96%) had been tested for HRV, 89 (39.91%) of which were positive; 344/465 (73.98%) had a fever, 138/465 (29.68%) had a runny nose, 139/465 (29.89%) had a sore throat, 86/465 (18.49%) had a cough, 41/465 (8.82%) had a headache, and 37/465 (7.96%) had a sneeze. Patients at age of 13-15 had the highest rate of sore throat and runny nose, patients aged 11-12 had the highest rate of sneezing, and patients at age of 12-14 had the highest rate of positive rate. Patients tested positive had a higher rate of fever (χ = 11.271, p = .001), cough (χ = 6.987, p = .008), runny nose (χ = 7.980, p = .005), and sneeze (χ = 4.676, p = .031).
The HRV was restored during the fighting of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conventional COVID-19 control measures were not effective enough in preventing rhinovirus. More appropriate control measures should be used to control HRV.
分析 2020 年中国广州人类鼻病毒(HRV)暴发的流行特征。
采用描述性流行病学方法分析 2020 年广州 HRV 相关暴发情况。
2020 年在广州新冠肺炎(COVID-19)大流行期间报告了 17 起暴发,共纳入 465 例患者(男 290 例,女 175 例),中位年龄为 10 岁。共有 223 例(47.96%)进行了 HRV 检测,其中 89 例(39.91%)阳性;465 例患者中 344 例(73.98%)发热,138 例(29.68%)流涕,139 例(29.89%)咽痛,86 例(18.49%)咳嗽,41 例(8.82%)头痛,37 例(7.96%)打喷嚏。13-15 岁年龄组咽痛和流涕发生率最高,11-12 岁年龄组打喷嚏发生率最高,12-14 岁年龄组阳性率最高。检测阳性患者发热(χ ²=11.271,p=0.001)、咳嗽(χ ²=6.987,p=0.008)、流涕(χ ²=7.980,p=0.005)和打喷嚏(χ ²=4.676,p=0.031)的比例更高。
在抗击新冠肺炎疫情期间,HRV 得以恢复。常规的新冠肺炎控制措施对预防鼻病毒效果不佳,应采用更恰当的控制措施来控制 HRV。
