  • Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) in Beijing in 2009, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of AHC. Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on the surveillance data of AHC, which were obtained from national disease reporting information system. Results A total of 422 AHC cases were reported in Beijing in 2009 with the incidence of 2.49/lakh. More cases were reported in floating population in suburb. The incidence of AHC varied in different season, and more cases were reported during May-August, but no obvious incidence peak was observed. Most cases were at the age of 20-50 years, and more cases were reported in males than in females. Conclusion No outbreak of AHC occurred in Beijing in 2009, but the health education about AHC should be strengthened in adolescents and middle aged male adults in floating population.
