ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory Haemophilus influenzae (HI) infection in children in Suzhou, China and its association with climatic factors and air pollutants.METHODS:
The data on air pollutants and climatic factors in Suzhou from January 2016 to December 2019 were collected. Respiratory secretions were collected from 7 940 children with acute respiratory infection who were hospitalized during this period, and bacterial culture results were analyzed for the detection of HI. A stepwise regression analysis was used to investigate the association of HI detection rate with air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, and O3) and climatic factors (monthly mean temperature, monthly mean humidity, monthly total rainfall, monthly total sunshine duration, and monthly mean wind speed).RESULTS:
In 2016-2019, the 4-year overall detection rate of HI was 9.26% (735/7 940) among the children in Suzhou. The children aged <1 year and 1-<3 years had a significantly higher HI detection rate than those aged ≥3 years (P<0.01). The detection rate of HI in spring was significantly higher than that in the other three seasons, and the detection rate of HI in autumn was significantly lower than that in the other three seasons (P<0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that PM10 and monthly mean wind speed were independent risk factors for the detection rate of HI the detection rate of HI was increased by 0.86% for every 10 µg/m3 increase in the concentration of PM10 and was increased by 5.64% for every 1 m/s increase in monthly mean wind speed. Air pollutants and climatic factors had a lag effect on the detection rate of HI.CONCLUSIONS:
HI is an important pathogen for acute respiratory infection in children in Suzhou and is prevalent in spring. PM10 and monthly mean wind speed are independent risk factors for the detection rate of HI.Palabras clave
