本标准规定了手足口病的诊断依据、诊断原则、诊断和鉴别诊断。
本标准适用于全国各级各类医疗卫生机构及其医务人员对手足口病的诊断。


Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

Diagnostic elements Common type standard Severe type standard Critical type standard
Main clinical manifestations Rash + oral herpes ± fever Central nervous system symptoms Respiratory/circulatory failure
Laboratory indicators - Increased white blood cell count/blood sugar Multiple organ dysfunction
Etiology confirmation Required to meet: EV-A71/CV-A16 IgM positive or IgG 4-fold increase or nucleic acid positive or virus isolation

Analysis of key technical points

1. Pathogen detection method

The standard specifies four diagnosis methods:

  1. ELISA to detect specific IgM antibodies (Appendix A)
  2. Neutralization test to detect IgG antibodies ≥ 4-fold increase
  3. RT-PCR to detect viral nucleic acid (Appendix B)
  4. RD/HEp-2 cell virus isolation (Appendix C)

2. Key points for the implementation of clinical typing

Typical case: A 3-year-old child had fever and rash on his hands. Nystagmus developed within 48 hours. Laboratory tests showed a white blood cell count of 12×10⁹/L and a positive EV-A71 nucleic acid test. He should be diagnosed with severe hand, foot and mouth disease.


Standard Evolution and Innovation

Compared with the 2008 version, the 2018 version has the following major updates:

  • Added a CV-A16-specific detection method
  • Refine the critical severity determination criteria
  • Standardize the Ct value determination threshold for nucleic acid detection

Implementation Suggestions

1. Diagnostic process optimization

Recommended hierarchical detection strategy:

  1. First perform enterovirus universal PCR screening
  2. Positive specimens are then typed for EV-A71/CV-A16
  3. Add serological dynamic monitoring for severe cases

2. Key points of quality control

Detection link Key control indicators
Virus isolation CPE determination requires double review
Nucleic acid detection Internal standard gene Ct value ≤32
Serological test Negative control OD value ≤0.1
