Abstract
Objective To understand the compositions of pathogens and seasonal distribution characteristics of rash and fever syndrome (RFS) in Gansu Province from 2009 to 2019, so as to provide references for further disease surveillance and scientific prevention and control. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the composition of pathogens of RFS in Gansu Province from 2009 to 2019 and the seasonal variation characteristics of the main pathogens. Results The compositions of pathogens of RFS in Gansu Province were dominated by viruses, mainly enterovirus (56.04%), measles virus (19.14%), varicella-zoster virus (16.85%) and rubella virus (7.33%). The differences of positive rate of the main pathogens in different age groups and different seasons were statistically significant (all P Conclusions From 2009 to 2019, the compositions of pathogens of RFS in Gansu Province were mainly viruses and the main pathogens have obvious seasonal characteristics. Seasonal and targeted proventive methods should be adopted for high-risk populations.
