Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) was reported in May 2, 2008 to be the 38th legally notifiable disease in China's National Notifiable Disease Reporting and Surveillance System. In order to solve the infection, an extensive three-level HFMD surveillance laboratory network was established. In this study, the framework of that network is assessed and the incidence of HFMD in China from 2008 to 2017 is reported using a descriptive epidemiologic method. During these 10 years, a series of techniques have been widely applied in all the network laboratories. Using information and material obtained from the network, a virus bank and database containing 18,238 viruses were established. Nationally, 18,184,834 HFMD cases, including 152,436 severe cases and 3633 fatal cases, were reported in mainland of China. The average annual incidence in the population was 133.99/100,000 people, with a maximum incidence of 205.06/100,000 people in 2014. The incidence and mortality rates of HFMD were the highest in children aged 1–2 years. The numbers of reported cases fluctuated, with a high incidence observed every 2 years. An overall increase in the number of reported cases was also observed throughout the study period. Despite this, the incidence of severe cases and the mortality rate have been decreasing. High-risk regions are located in southern, eastern, and central China. Two peaks of HFMD infection cases were observed annually except for Northeast China. Different proportions of enterovirus serotypes were observed during the studied years. The predominant enterovirus varies from year to year, but the disease severity is always closely related to the specific serotype. EV-A71 is the dominant serotype associated with severe and fatal cases, with constituent ratios of 70.03% and 92.23%, respectively. The studied highly sensitive and efficient surveillance network provides information that is critical for prevention and control of the disease. It is extremely necessary and important to continuously conduct extensive virological surveillance for HFMD. |
