Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical characteristics of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis in Hotan, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Methods

The data of 16 patients with epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis who were admitted to Hotan People’s Hospital from March 2014 to March 2015 were analyzed, retrospectively. Epidemic season, age, clinical characteristics, laboratory examination, treatment and prognosis of patients were analyzed, respectively.

Results

Cerebrospinal meningitis mainly occurred on April to June. There were 11 children (68.75%) and 5 adults (31.25%) in this research. And 14 cases were with common type and 2 cases with fulminating type. Compared with the adult patients, the clinical manifestations of children were severe, and procalcitonin of children patients was higher (t =-2.668, P = 0.028).

Conclusions

There is a high occurrence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis in south of Xinjiang. The peak incidence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis occurs from April to June. Children were susceptible to epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. The infection of children were more severe than adults. The immunization strategies are to enhance the rates of vaccine inoculation for epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis.
