目的 分析2024年2月至2026年2月郑州人民医院收治的急性下呼吸道感染(ALRTI)患儿的病原体分布情况及其流行病学特征。方法 选取2024年2月—2026年2月于郑州人民医院就诊的193例ALRTI患儿为研究对象,采集患儿咽拭子样本,统计患儿病原体检测结果,比较不同性别、不同年龄段、不同发病季节患儿病原体分布情况。结果 193例患儿中,经病原体检测出阳性患儿165例,总阳性检出率85.49%,检出率最高的前三位为RSV(20.73%)、MP(19.69%)、HRV(15.54%);婴儿期患儿RSV感染占比(44.83%)最高,其次为HRV感染(20.69%),幼儿期患儿RSV、HRV、MP感染占比(17.31%、17.31%、19.23%)均较高,学龄前、学龄期患儿MP感染占比(33.33%、26.32%)最高,婴儿期患儿混合感染占比(6.90%)较低,学龄前患儿混合感染占比(20.00%)较高;春季时,各病原体分布较均衡,HRV、MP、SP感染占比(14.58%、12.50%、14.58%)均较高,夏季、秋季时,MP感染率(31.82%、28.85%)较高,冬季时,RSV感染率(55.10%)较高,四个季节中混合感染患儿占比较接近,其中秋季感染率(17.31%)相对较高。结论 2024年至2026年郑州人民医院收治的急性下呼吸道感染患儿病原体中,RSV、MP为主要病原体,各呼吸道病原体随患儿年龄段、季节变化存在不同发病高峰,临床应结合实际情况早期鉴别病原体,以指导临床制定针对性治疗方案,改善患儿预后。
Objective To analyze the distribution of pathogens and the epidemiological characteristics of children with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) admitted to Zhengzhou People’s Hospital from February 2024 to February 2026. Methods: A total of 193 pediatric patients with ALRTI who visited Zhengzhou People’s Hospital between February 2024 and February 2026 were selected as study subjects. Throat swab samples were collected from the patients, and pathogen testing results were compiled to compare the distribution of pathogens across different genders, age groups, and seasons of onset. Results: Among the 193 children, 165 tested positive for pathogens, resulting in an overall positive detection rate of 85.49%. The top three most frequently detected pathogens were RSV (20.73%), MP (19.69%), and HRV (15.54%); RSV infection had the highest prevalence (44.83%) among infants, followed by HRV infection (20.69%). Among preschoolers, the prevalence of RSV, HRV, and MP infections (17.31%, 17.31%, and 19.23%, respectively) was relatively high. MP infections were most common among preschool and school-age children (33.33% and 26.32%, respectively); the proportion of mixed infections was lower among infants (6.90%) but higher among preschoolers (20.00%); In spring, the distribution of pathogens was relatively balanced, with high proportions of HRV, MP, and SP infections (14.58%, 12.50%, and 14.58%, respectively). In summer and fall, the MP infection rate was high (31.82% and 28.85%, respectively). In winter, the RSV infection rate (55.10%) was high. The proportion of children with mixed infections was relatively similar across the four seasons, with a relatively higher infection rate (17.31%) in autumn. Conclusion: Among the pathogens identified in children with acute lower respiratory tract infections admitted to Zhengzhou People’s Hospital from 2024 to 2026, RSV and MP were the primary pathogens. The incidence peaks of various respiratory pathogens varied according to the children’s age groups and seasons. Clinicians should conduct early pathogen identification based on actual conditions to guide the development of targeted treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.
