Abstract:Objective To explore the characteristics of blood routine and the value of predicting the disease of children with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in this area. Method The basic information and the routine blood test results of children with hand-foot-mouth disease diagnosis were collected from April 2015 to July 2018. The routine blood test mainly included white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. The difference of positive EV71, CVA16 and the normal group were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. ROC curve was used to evaluate positive predictive value of each index for EV71, CVA16. Results The total of 7?342 children with HFMD were collected. The virus detection quantity was higher in males than females, with the highest detection rate in infants (1 to 3 years old) and the second highest in preschool (>3 to 6 years old). There was significant difference in the detection rate of each age group (P?0.05). WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte in patients with positive EV71 and CVA16 were all higher than those in the normal group (P?0.05), and the monocyte value in the CVA16 group were higher than EV71 group (P?0.05), which the difference was statistically significant. The area under the curve of lymphocytes in EV71 and CVA16 was 0.865 (95% CI: 0.832, 0.897) and 0.865 (95% CI: 0.840, 0.889), respectively; the sensitivity and specificity were 73.42% and 96.55%, 75.22% and 96.55%, respectively. The area under the curve of monocytes was 0.617 and 0.672, respectively; the sensitivity and specificity were 48.50% and 93.10%, 54.74% and 93.10%. Conclusion Leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes have certain diagnostic value for CVA16 and EV71 infection. Among them, lymphocytes have the best value, followed by monocyte. Monocytes have certain predictive value for distinguishing the infection of CVA16 and EV71.
