Abstract Objective To analyze retrospectively the infection status of hand foot and mouth disease(HFMD) caused by enterovirus EV71 from 2009 to 2013. Method The throat swabs and vesicle fluid specimens of 4 584 suspected HFMD cases were collected and examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results The infection rates of enterovirus EV71 were 7.84%, 5.77%, 16.71%, 10.16% and 3.66%, respectively, which were represented as chi-square and the differences were statiscal significant (P<0.05). The infection rate (65.58%) is the highest in the children less than 3 years old. The incidence of HFMD increased from April to July every year, and so was the infection season of EV71. Conclusions The occurence of HFMD has obvious features of season and age. As a result, we should not only strengthen the propaganda training and supervising function, but also take effective security measures to control the condition.
