[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] To learn the characteristics of morbidity and mortality of notifiable diseases reported in China in 2013.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the morbidity and mortality of notifiable diseases in China in 2013, with Microsoft Excel 2010 and ArcGIS 10.0 used to develop statistical charts.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] In 2013, the morbidity of the nationwide notifiable diseases was 473.87/100 000, a decrease of 3% below the average of the recent 3 years, while the mortality was 1.23/100 000, an increase of 2% over the average of the recent 3 years. The rate of laboratory diagnosis of the reported cases was 38.4%. Top 5 diseases of the reported incidence were hand foot and mouth disease, other infectious diarrhea, hepatitis B, tuberculosis and syphilis. The death cases reported were mainly AIDS, tuberculosis and rabies. As classified by the transmission route analysis, intestinal infectious diseases accounted for 49% of the total incidence reported for the year, followed by the blood and sexually transmitted infectious diseases, respiratory infectious diseases, animal and vector borne infectious diseases. According to the pathogenic analysis, virus infectious diseases accounted for 68% of the total cases, higher than bacterial infectious diseases and animal-borne/vector-borne infectious diseases. In Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus was emerging, as epidemic situation of measles, dengue fever and brucellosis were on the rise significantly nationwide, while the morbidity of infectious diseases decreased, namely pulmonary tuberculosis, hepatitis B among others. Morbidity of the top 5 provinces for notifiable infectious diseases were Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Xinjiang and Zhejiang, respectively.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] The proportion of laboratory confirmed cases among totals was still low in 2013. The morbidity of the infectious diseases was higher in western provinces and parts of south-eastern province, the mortality was higher in western provinces. The emerging human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus, and the high epidemic of measles, dengue fever and brucellosis in some areas had caught the society concerns.
