Abstract Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71)–related hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) imposes a substantial clinical burden in the Asia Pacific region. To inform policy on the introduction of the EV-A71 vaccine into the National Immunization Programme, we investigated the seroepidemiological characteristics of EV-A71 in two prospective cohorts of children in southern China conducted between 2013 and 2018. Our results show that maternal antibody titres declined rapidly in neonates, with over half becoming susceptible to EV-A71 at 1 month of age. Between 6 months and 2 years of age, over 80% of study participants were susceptible, while one third remained susceptible at 5 years old. The highest incidence of EV-A71 infections was observed in children aged 5-6 months. Our findings support EV-A71 vaccination before 6 months for birth cohorts in southern China, potentially with a one-time catch-up vaccination for children 6 months-5 years old. More regionally representative longitudinal seroepidemi...

Across RWJBarnabas Health, we have seen a recent surge in cases of severe respiratory illness in children caused by an influx of a variety of viruses common to the fall and winter months. Uzma N. Hasan, MD, Division Director of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, and Christopher Freer, DO, FACEP, Senior Vice President of Emergency and Hospitalist Medicine at RWJBarnabas Health, discuss symptoms and risk factors of these viruses and respiratory illness, when to seek emergency care, and how to protect your children. Q. What viruses are currently circulating in children? A.

Surveillance of HAIs is a fundamental and essential aspect of infection prevention and control programs [6,7,8,9,10]. Traditional surveillance is a manual time-consuming infection case-finding and reporting program that involves infection control physicians looking over lists of positive infection information of pathogen culture and patient histories daily and HAI case reports by clinicians. In this study, the results showed low infection incidences of HAIs (1.48%) and certain infection sites, including respiratory infection (0.93%), UTI (0.25%), SSI (0.09%), BSI (0.14%) and skin and soft tissue infection (0.12%), reported by traditional manual surveillance methods in period 1. These low reported infection incidences echo the inaccurate report demonstrated by other studies [9, 12]. Seifi's study presented the results of under- and overreporting of HAIs by traditional surveillance [9]. Many hospitals have a large number of beds but insufficient numbers of infection control physician...
