Objective To analyze the epidemic status of the morbidity of legal infectious diseases within the 10 years since Zhuhai S.E.Z.'s transforming and opening to the world; to discuss the influences of the morbidity rate of infectious diseases in Zhuhai's floating population, to provide scientific basis for prevention and control.
Methods To collect the records of the morbidity of legal infectious diseases in Zhuhai's floating population and the inhabitant; to carry out their epidemiological analysis according to disease types and ages, and to describe the epidemiological characterist ic as well as the prevention and control measures.
Results Generally speaking, the morbidity rate tendency of infection diseases reduced within the 10 years.Among all the Zhuhai's populations, the morbidity rate in the inhabitant reduced steadily, from 410.01 per hundred thousand to 200.61 per hundred thousand while those in floating population suddenly reduced from 745.39 per hundred thousand to 200.27 per hundred thousand.But the ratio of the infection diseases in floating population increased among the total year by year.Malaria, the newborn tetanus and measles were controlled.From 1993 to 1996, such disease were at morbidity climax; in 1997 the morbidity rate dropped greatly, but it still stayed much higher than that of inhabitant with a significant difference.Successively in 8 years from 1995, the ratio of the new born tetanus in floating population was over 90% among the total morbidity; that of measles was over 60% in 7 years while that of malar ia was over 85% in 8 years.In the two populations, the mor bidity of STD was rising most greatly among all the infectious diseases.Gonorrhea was mainly at the top.The morbidity rate of infectious diseases in floating population grew much more rapidly and in 1996, it reached its peak, among which, gonorrhea was 60% and syphilis growed at a velocity of 50% annually.
Conclusion Notable achievements was achieved in controlling infectious diseases in the past ten years.But, our attention and guard cannot be lowed down in controlling infectious diseases in floating population.It was new to us to prevent and control STD.Much attention was not paid to the planned child immunity of floating population, ther efore comprehensive management measures should be taken.
