Neurological complications and risk factors of cardiopulmonary failure of EV-A71-related hand, foot and mouth disease.

ABSTRACT: From 2010 to 2012, large outbreaks of EV-A71-related- hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) occurred annually in China. Some cases had neurological complications and were closely associated with fatal cardiopulmonary collapse, but not all children with central nervous system (CNS) involvement demonstrated a poor prognosis. To identify which patients and which neurological complications are more likely to progress to cardiopulmonary failure, we retrospectively studied 1,125 paediatric inpatients diagnosed with EV-A71-related HFMD in Hunan province, including 1,017 cases with CNS involvement. These patients were divided into cardiopulmonary failure (976 people) group and group without cardiopulmonary failure (149 people). A logistic regression analysis was used to compare the clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, and neurological complications between these two groups. The most significant risk factors included young age, fever duration ?3 days, coma, limb weakness, drowsiness and ANS involvement. Patients with brainstem encephalitis and more CNS-involved regions were more likely to progress to cardiopulmonary failure. These findings can help front-line clinicians rapidly and accurately determine patient prognosis, thus rationally distributing the limited medical resources and implementing interventions as early as possible.

Project description:BackgroundInactivated monovalent enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) vaccines are now available in China to reduce the substantial public health burden of hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, post-licensure monitoring of vaccine effectiveness is important. We did an observational test-negative study of EV-A71 vaccine effectiveness.MethodsChildren with hand, foot, and mouth disease who were admitted to Henan Children's Hospital (Zhengzhou, China) within 7 days of illness onset were invited to participate in this test-negative case-control study. Participant vaccination history with EV-A71, including the number of doses received and the date of each dose of vaccination, was elicited from parents or legal guardians of participants with a standardised questionnaire. Children must have received two doses before hospitalisation to be counted as fully vaccinated. Patients who had received a single dose before hospitalisation were classified as partly vaccinated. Children who had received no EV-A71 vaccine before hospitalisation were classified as unvaccinated. Throat swabs and stool samples collected from patients were tested by RT-PCR to identify EV-A71 and other enteroviruses. The primary outcome of the study was paediatric hand, foot, and mouth disease associated with EV-A71 requiring hospitalisation. We estimated vaccine effectiveness with conditional logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders.FindingsBetween Feb 15, 2017, and Feb 15, 2018, we enrolled 1803 children aged 6-71 months with hand, foot, and mouth disease. 234 (13%) children tested positive for EV-A71, 1529 (85%) tested positive for other enteroviruses-528 (29%) were positive for Coxsackievirus (CV)-A6 and 342 (19%) were positive for CV-A16-and 29 (2%) tested negative for all enteroviruses. 11 (1%) children with neither throat swab nor stool testing results were excluded from further analyses. Overall vaccine effectiveness was estimated to be 85·4% (95% CI 53·2 to 95·4) for fully vaccinated children and 63·1% (13·1 to 84·3) for partly vaccinated children. The vaccine effectiveness for full vaccination was estimated to be 91·1% (35·1 to 98·8) among non-severe cases compared with 73·3% (-32·6 to 94·6) in severe cases. The vaccine effectiveness for partial vaccination was 77·9% (4·3 to 94·9) in children aged 24-71 months and 40·8% (-71·1 to 79·5) in children aged 6-23 months. We found no significant association between full or partial vaccination and CV-A6 or CV-A16-related hand, foot, and mouth disease.InterpretationEV-A71 vaccination was effective in preventing non-severe hand, foot, and mouth disease associated with EV-A71 virus infection in children aged 6-71 months, and we found evidence that one dose of vaccination provided partial protection for children aged 24-71 months. Introduction of multivalent vaccines could further reduce the burden of hand, foot, and mouth disease.FundingThe National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.

Project description:UnlabelledEnterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a major cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and is particularly prevalent in parts of Southeast Asia, affecting thousands of children and infants each year. Revealing the evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics of EV-A71 through time and space is central to understanding its outbreak potential. We generated the full genome sequences of 200 EV-A71 strains sampled from various locations in Viet Nam between 2011 and 2013 and used these sequence data to determine the evolutionary history and phylodynamics of EV-A71 in Viet Nam, providing estimates of the effective reproduction number (Re) of the infection through time. In addition, we described the phylogeography of EV-A71 throughout Southeast Asia, documenting patterns of viral gene flow. Accordingly, our analysis reveals that a rapid genogroup switch from C4 to B5 likely took place during 2012 in Viet Nam. We show that the Re of subgenogroup C4 decreased during the time frame of sampling, whereas that of B5 increased and remained >1 at the end of 2013, corresponding to a rise in B5 prevalence. Our study reveals that the subgenogroup B5 virus that emerged into Viet Nam is closely related to variants that were responsible for large epidemics in Malaysia and Taiwan and therefore extends our knowledge regarding its associated area of endemicity. Subgenogroup B5 evidently has the potential to cause more widespread outbreaks across Southeast Asia.ImportanceEV-A71 is one of many viruses that cause HFMD, a common syndrome that largely affects infants and children. HFMD usually causes only mild illness with no long-term consequences. Occasionally, however, severe infection may arise, especially in very young children, causing neurological complications and even death. EV-A71 is highly contagious and is associated with the most severe HFMD cases, with large and frequent epidemics of the virus recorded worldwide. Although major advances have been made in the development of a potential EV-A71 vaccine, there is no current prevention and little is known about the patterns and dynamics of EV-A71 spread. In this study, we utilize full-length genome sequence data obtained from HFMD patients in Viet Nam, a geographical region where the disease has been endemic since 2003, to characterize the phylodynamics of this important emerging virus.
