  • 院内感染是儿科常见问题,对婴儿及免疫功能低下者可能致命。在2018年9月,首都儿科研究所附属儿童医院住院儿童中发现人腺病毒(HAdV)的高阳性检出率。为调查本次HAdV暴发是院内感染?还是社区感染?收集2018年6月至12月呼吸病房收治的急性呼吸道感染患儿呼吸道标本,进行呼吸道病毒筛查。在1840例患者中,95例(5.2%,95/1840)为HAdV阳性,81例进行了系统进化树分析,其中7例为HAdV-1(8.6%),30例为HAdV-3(37.0%),2例HAdV-6(2.5%),42例HAdV-7(51.9%)。8月(4.7%,12/255)、9月(15.0%,41/274)和10月(6.9%,17/247)采集到的HAdV阳性样本更多,9月达到高峰。将HAdV系统进化树分析结果与患者临床资料相结合,排除院内感染的有77例(4.2%,77/1840;81.1%,77/95);剩余的18例中8例可能是探视者或家长传播的;3例未得到HAdV序列,无法确定为HAdV阳性室友传播;另有1例因HAdV阳性室友未得到序列,无法确定是否为院内感染;有6例与室友具有高度同源的HAdV序列,考虑可能为院内感染。由此可见基于系统进化树分析的HAdVs基因分型结合临床资料,可为区分院内感染和社区获得性感染提供有力证据,尤其是在追踪院内感染起源时。

  • Nosocomial infections are common in pediatric patients and can be fatal in infants and immunocompromised patients. In September 2018, a high positive rate of human adenovirus HAdV was occurred among hospitalized children in the Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Paediatrics in Beijing. To investigate whether this outbreak of HAdV was related to nosocomial infections or the result of community infections, we collected respiratory specimens from patients with acute respiratory infections in a respiratory ward during June to December 2018, and screened for respiratory viruses. Among 1, 840 cases included, 95 (5.2%, 95/1840) were positive for HAdV and 81 were genotyped based on phylogenetic analysis, including seven as HAdV-1 (8.6%), 30 HAdV-3 (37.0%), two HAdV-6 (2.5%), and 42 HAdV-7 (51.9%). More HAdV-positive samples were collected in August (4.7%, 12/255), September (15.0%, 41/274) and October (6.9%, 17/247), with a peak in September 2018. By combining the results of HAdV phylogenetic analysis with clinical data of patients, there were 77 cases (4.2%, 77/1840; 81.1%, 77/95) excluded from nosocomial infections, eight cases representing possible infections transmitted by visitors or attending parents, three cases without sequences that might have been due to infection transmitted by roommates positive for HAdV, one case of a roommate without an HAdV sequence, and six cases that shared highly homologous sequences with those of their roommates, for which nosocomial infections might be considered. In conclusion, genotyping of HAdVs based on phylogenetic analysis combined with clinical information provides a powerful method to distinguish nosocomial infections from community acquired infection, especially when tracing the origins of nosocomial infections.

    Abstract: 

    Nosocomial infections are common in pediatric patients and can be fatal in infants and immunocompromised patients. In September 2018, a high positive rate of human adenovirus HAdV was occurred among hospitalized children in the Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Paediatrics in Beijing. To investigate whether this outbreak of HAdV was related to nosocomial infections or the result of community infections, we collected respiratory specimens from patients with acute respiratory infections in a respiratory ward during June to December 2018, and screened for respiratory viruses. Among 1, 840 cases included, 95 (5.2%, 95/1840) were positive for HAdV and 81 were genotyped based on phylogenetic analysis, including seven as HAdV-1 (8.6%), 30 HAdV-3 (37.0%), two HAdV-6 (2.5%), and 42 HAdV-7 (51.9%). More HAdV-positive samples were collected in August (4.7%, 12/255), September (15.0%, 41/274) and October (6.9%, 17/247), with a peak in September 2018. By combining the results of HAdV phylogenetic analysis with clinical data of patients, there were 77 cases (4.2%, 77/1840; 81.1%, 77/95) excluded from nosocomial infections, eight cases representing possible infections transmitted by visitors or attending parents, three cases without sequences that might have been due to infection transmitted by roommates positive for HAdV, one case of a roommate without an HAdV sequence, and six cases that shared highly homologous sequences with those of their roommates, for which nosocomial infections might be considered. In conclusion, genotyping of HAdVs based on phylogenetic analysis combined with clinical information provides a powerful method to distinguish nosocomial infections from community acquired infection, especially when tracing the origins of nosocomial infections.
