Toll in China disease outbreak rises to 50

BEIJING (AFP) ? A highly contagious disease especially harmful to young children has killed 50 people in China this year, the health ministry said Friday as it warned the worst was yet to come.

"The spread of hand, foot and mouth disease is still in a period of ascendancy," ministry spokesman Deng Haihua told reporters.

"The numbers of reported illnesses will continue to rise, we expect to see the peak between May and July," he said.

Deng said that as of April 7, 50 deaths had been attributed to hand, foot and mouth disease, known as enterovirus, this year, with clinics and hospitals reporting more than 115,000 cases.

Nearly 95 percent of cases involved children under the age of five, he said.

State media said on Tuesday that a total of 31 deaths had been attributed to the disease, but Deng said that figure referred to March alone.

Symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease include fever and sores. It can be fatal in children because their immune systems are immature.

The disease claimed an unusually high 128 lives in China in the first 11 months of last year.

China reports 7 new deaths from child virus


BEIJING (AP) ? Seven more children have died in an especially virulent outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease in central China, bringing this year's death toll from the virus to 57, state media reported Thursday.

China warns of longtime regional outbreak of hand-foot-mouth disease
20:48, April 20, 2009

Though the incidence and death rates of hand-foot-mouth disease in China is normal compared with overseas regions, the country's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) warns of long-term outbreaks among the large populations in certain regions.

Zhang Jing, a CDCP official in charge of intestinal infection prevention told Xinhua here Monday that the disease had been "obviously spreading" since mid-March.

Zhang said as the country had been officially monitoring the disease for about a year, they lacked historical figures to judge if the epidemic was worse than previous years.

The disease might continue to spread in the next two months since its usual peak season is between May and July, she added.

As of April 15, 25 patients, among 30,844 cases reported, died from the disease in central China's Henan province. And 19 out of 17,158 cases died in Shandong Province.

In the latest case, a 29-month-old boy died in a Shanghai hospital on April 16 after being transferred from east China's Anhui Province -- six days after he fell ill.

Zhang stressed that the disease won't be spread nationwide as it is not mainly transferred through respiratory systems like SARS, measles and other highly-infectious diseases.

Hand-foot-mouth disease is a common childhood illness that mainly affects children under the age of 10. Symptoms include fever, sores in the mouth and a rash with blisters. It can sometimes be fatal if complications occur.

The CDCP has sent expert teams to worse-hit provinces including Hunan and Shandong to direct the disease prevention work. Up to now, labs have been set up in all 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country to research on the disease.

Statistics from the Ministry of Health show that this year a total of 50 children died from the disease as of April 7, with 115,000 cases reported.
