Study on Dynamic Changes of the Maternal Anti-EV71 and Anti-CVA16 Antibody Levels in Infants and Young Children

Overview

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease（HFMD）is an infectious disease in infants and young children caused by enterovirus. There was a great outbreak of HFMD in China, 2008, which brought not only panic to the people, but also huge economic loss. Since 2008, HFMD has become one of the category c infectious diseases in China. Studies showed that Human Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A 16 (CVA16) are the most common reasons for this disease. And the investigators are going to develop the vaccines for this disease. There is an urgent need to know the dynamic changes of the maternal anti-EV71 and ant-CVA16 level in infants and young children. In April 2007, the investigators started a clinical trial named 'The Safety and Immunogenicity of Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccines in the Health Neonates' (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01183611). In that study the investigators already built a cohort of Health Neonates, followed them and obtained the blood serum on the day 0, 30, 210 and 360 after born. So, based on the cohort and blood serum the investigators got, the investigators plan this study to retrospectively investigate their HFMD histories from birth and follow-up for another year to get the information about the incidence of HFMD. The investigators also plan to assay the maternal anti-EV71 and anti-CVA16 antibodies on the day0 and the dynamic changes of antibodies on 1st month, 7th month (day 210), 1st year (day 360) and on October, 2010.

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease（HFMD）is a common infectious disease in infants and young children which is caused by enterovirus. HFMD is one of the category c infectious diseases in China. However a group of picornavirus of enterovirus can caused HFMD, including coxsackievirus A (CVA), coxsackievirus B(CVB), Human Enterovirus 71(EV71), Echovirus(ECHO) and so on, EV71 and CVA16 are the most common reason for this disease. This study is carried out to discover dynamic changes of the maternal anti-EV71 and anti-CVA16 antibody in infants and young children from this study. Infections of Hand, Foot and Month Disease in infants and young children may lead to a certain proportion of serious cases with various complications or death. The primary aim of this study is to find dynamic changes of the maternal anti-EV71 antibody in infants and young children and to provide basic data for the future application of EV71 vaccines. The second aim of this study is to find dynamic changes of the maternal anti- CVA16 antibody levels in infants and young children The third aim of this study is to discover the risk factors of Hand, Foot and Month Disease and to estimate the burden of disease.Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease（HFMD）is a common infectious disease in infants and young children caused by enterovirus.
