Child deaths from HFMD spike in March
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2010-04-09 16:34

BEIJING - Forty children have died of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) and a total 77,756 cases were reported in China last month, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on its website.

The death toll in March alone was double the total of the first two months. The MOH said the HFMD was the biggest Class C infectious disease in March.

The classes of infectious diseases were categorized by the MOH, with Class A, which includes cholera and the plague, being the most serious and Class C the least serious.

The second biggest Class C killer was infectious diarrhea, which claimed two lives last month.

Vice-Premier Li Keqiang Wednesday urged the boosting of efforts to prevent and control the HFMD nationwide as the illness re-emerges in parts of the country.

"Spring and summer are a peak period for infectious diseases. Currently, preventing and controlling various infectious diseases such as the hand-foot-mouth disease is a key task," Li said.

Li urged the acceleration of research into vaccines and drugs for the disease and a focus on prevention and control work in rural areas for the most vulnerable groups.

South China's Guangxi Autonomous Region, Guangdong province, central China's Henan and Hebei provinces, east China's Shandong province all reported the outbreak of HFMD.

Many provinces have warned parents to be aware of the symptoms of the disease and to closely monitor their children. Good personal hygiene, including washing hands often, was strongly recommended to prevent the disease.

HFMD is a common illness that mainly affects children under the age of 10. It usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters and ulcers in the mouth and rashes on the hands and feet. It is spread through contact with saliva or feces of the infected.

Death toll from contagious disease in China doubles

BEIJING (AFP) - Forty children in China died from the highly contagious hand, foot and mouth disease in March, almost doubling the death toll in the previous two months, state media reported.

The disease, which is especially harmful to young children, also infected over 77,750 people last month, prompting calls to boost efforts to control the spread of the illness in China, the official Xinhua news agency said.

"Spring and summer are a peak period for infectious diseases," Vice Premier Li Keqiang was quoted as saying.

"Preventing and controlling various infectious diseases such as the hand, foot and mouth disease is a key task."

In January and February this year, 17 people died of the disease and a further 61,429 were infected, according to official figures. By way of comparison, 353 were killed last year by the illness.

An outbreak of the disease has been reported in provinces and regions in south, central, north and eastern China, the report said late Friday.

The illness, which is common in China, causes fever, blister-like eruptions in the mouth and skin rashes. It can be fatal in children because their immune systems are immature.

Updated: 2010-04-22 00:35

HFMD Outbreaks Expose Weak Link in China's Health System
2010-04-24 15:04:46 Xinhua Web Editor: Cao


Recent outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in China have highlighted poor health care in the country's vast rural areas -- the weak link in the health care system.

HFMD is not a highly contagious disease, but deaths resulting from it have surged this year in China.

Forty children died from the disease in March alone, double the total of the first three months last year, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Altogether 192,344 cases had been reported this year as of April 12, up 38 percent from a year earlier, including 94 death cases.

HFMD typically strikes infants and children under the age of five in spring and autumn. Normally it runs its course in seven to ten days. In a few cases, however, infection can lead to high fever, meningitis, encephalitis, pulmonary edema and paralysis, which can be fatal.

It usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters and ulcers in the mouth and rashes on the hands and feet. It is spread through contact with saliva or feces of the infected.

The disease started to cause alarm in 2008 when it killed 22 children in central China' s Anhui Province from March to May.

However, despite the government's increasing efforts to curb outbreaks, deaths from HFMD have continued to rise. In 2009, 353 children died from the disease, up from 2008's 126. Meanwhile, the number of HFMD cases in 2009 was 1.15 million, up from 480,000 year on year, according to MOH.

Statistics showed rural areas and urban fringe zones were the worst hit regions, which experts said was due to poor hygiene and medical care as well as weak health awareness in those regions.

POOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS IN RURAL AREAS

HFMD infections were reported in both cities and rural areas; however, "Most of the more than 2,100 severe cases and deaths reported so far have happened in rural areas," said Feng Zijian, director of the emergency response department of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control of China.

Quanzhou County, a badly hit area in the southwestern Guangxi Autonomous Region, reported 14 child deaths from infectious diseases this year as of April 12, among which four were confirmed HFMD cases and the other ten were very likely killed by the disease. All of the 14 children were from villages.

"Most of the 1,200 rural doctors in Quanzhou County have only nursing training while some just received a short medical training course after finishing high school," said Wang Zhongyun, president of the Quanzhou Renmin Hospital.

The case of Xiao Min, an 18-month-old baby from the County, illustrates the problems with the health system. She had a fever on April 7 and was sent to the clinic in Bailu Village, Shitang Town, where she was treated like a common cold patient by a doctor who has been working there for nearly 20 years.

Two days later, she started to have difficulty breathing, and was diagnosed with HFMD after being rushed to the county hospital. She died two hours later.

The HFMD outbreaks exposed the incompetence of rural areas in dealing with medical emergencies and infectious disease, as when the sick children were rushed to county hospitals, the epidemic had already started to spread, and the best time for treatment had passed, according to Wang Qun, head of the outpatient department of the affiliated hospital to Guilin Medical University.

Wang called on the government to strengthen training for rural medical staff.

"Rural medical staff are the nerve endings of China's disease prevention and control system. We have to make the endings acute to nip infectious diseases in the bud," he said.

Besides medical staff, experts are also calling on government to install more medical equipment in village clinics and hospitals.

Only one breathing machine was available in the whole Quanzhou County when the disease broke out, which severely hampered doctors' efforts to save lives.

URBANIZATION ALSO BEHIND OUTBREAK

Experts said outbreaks of HFMD were also related to China's fast pace of urbanization as urban fringe zones, where a lot of migrants live, had been hard-hit by the disease.

China has seen a leap in urbanization in the past half century, with urban population increasing to 46 percent of the country's total from the 7 percent in 1949.

The fast urbanization has increased environmental degradation and pollution which poses a severe threat to people's health, especially in migrant suburbs with poor access to local health care.

Four of the HFMD deaths reported in Dongguan this year, Guangdong Province, were all from suburban migrant families, said Wangbo, vice director of the province's HFMD expert panel.

Dongguan has the largest floating population in the province as the pillar industry of the city, manufacturing business, has absorbed masses of migrants.

A survey showed that from January 2008 to the middle of 2009, HFMD cases from the three urban fringe zones accounted for 78 percent of the city's total for that period.

"Poor living conditions and hygiene, low economic status as well as substandard nutrition among kids are the reasons for the outbreak in urban fringe zones," said Wang Quanyi, an official with the Beijing Disease Control Center.

Migrant parents usually do not pay enough attention to their children as they are too busy earning money to support the family, so they are unlike to pickup early symptoms of some diseases, said Wang.

According to a survey among residents in urban fringe zone conducted by Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 83.7 percent of those surveyed said they had never considered having health checks and only 9.2 percent of them had not received any treatment when sick.

PREVENTION: THE TOP PRIORITY

Prevention is the "top priority" as currently there is no vaccine or specific treatment for the HFMD virus, said Zhao Minggang, deputy director of the medical administration department under the MOH.

Vice Premier Li Keqiang in April also called for stronger prevention and control efforts as well as more research into vaccines and drugs, to fight the disease.

The MOH Thursday distributed a clinical guideline on HFMD treatment to doctors across the country to fully equip doctors, especially those in rural areas, with HFMD knowledge.

Training sessions had been organized for health care workers as well, according to Zhao.

Many provinces, including north China's Henan, have organized disease control experts to tour around the provinces providing needed expertise.

The health bureau in Quanzhou County has handed out 140,000 flyers introducing basic HFMD knowledge to parents.

Parents, particularly those in rural areas, are urged to practice good hygiene to help prevent the infection. Kindergartens and schools across Henan have been asked to step up health checks among children.

Shenzhen City also has been keeping an eye on communities with large floating populations, schools and factories.

Hospital bills worry parents

* Source: Global Times
* [00:59 April 26 2010]

By An Baijie

Citing the high costs of treating children suffering from hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD), family members of young patients are calling on authorities to step in and cover their medical bills.

Some 200,000 children across the country have been infected and 94 children have died from the illness this year.

A report by Oriental Outlook Weekly, a magazine run by the Xinhua News Agency, reported on Saturday that it cost more than 10,000 yuan ($1,460) to treat just one person, and medical insurance covers just about 10 percent of the cost. Some medicines to treat the disease are not covered by insurance.

Villager Xing Tuanjie said he spent 37,600 yuan ($5,503) to help his 4-year-old daughter, and is worried that the bills will pile up, the re-port said.

Fatalities from the disease are rising. In 2009, 353 children died from the disease, up from 126 in 2008. The number of infections in 2009 was 1.15 million, representing a year on year increase of 480,000, an earlier report by Xinhua said.

Some Internet users said on a baidu.com forum that the government should provide free treatment in order to stop more infections.

The Oriental Outlook Weekly said Central China's Henan Province is the second worst hit area with 24,001 infections and 12 deaths as of April 15.

The No.1 People's Hospital in Pingdingshan is crowded. The hospital admitted 569 serious HFMD cases as of April 22.

The hospital sent some children home because of limited capacity even though their parents wanted to keep them in the facility. Some of the children became worse and some became disabled and died.

Doctors were also accused of making false diagnoses. Yang Xingyun reportedly sent home a child with HFMD because he thought the child only had an upper respiratory tract infection. The child later died.

Li Xingwang, director of the infectious disease treatment center at Beijing Ditan Hospital who edited the government's guidelines on treating the disease, told the Global Times Sunday that the public should be more concerned about the disease.

"Babies under the age of three who gets a long-lasting fever and vomits should stay at hospital at least four days for further observation, in case the disease worsens," Li said.

Liu Shirong, 35, of Binzhou, Shandong Province, told the Global Times that although his 2-year-old son was not infected with HFMD, he is ner-vous and does not allow his son to go outdoors since some of his colleagues' children are sick.

"I hope that the authorities could find an effective vaccine to stop the HFMD, otherwise I could only let my baby stay home all day long," Liu said.

HFMD breaks out in the spring and affects children under the age of 10. Patients usually get a slight fever followed by blisters and ulcers in the mouth along with rashes on the hands and feet. It spreads through contact with saliva or fecal matter.
