猩红热多发生于温带地区,热带与亚热带地区极少见,即使有发生,病情亦很轻。广西地处亚热带,过去仅在桂北偶见少数病例。近年由于交通发达,南北来往频繁,七十年代初期,广西开始有猩红热流行,在南宁的流行始自1973年,以后逐年均有散发,病情轻,预后良好。此篇报道靖西县1974年以来有散发流行,说明猩红热已经由南宁传播到边远的县份,在流行病学上有一定的意义。 Scarlet fever occurs mostly in temperate regions, rare in the tropical and subtropical regions, even if it occurs, the condition is also very light. Guangxi is located in the subtropical zone. In the past, only a few cases were occasionally seen in northern Guangxi. In recent years, due to the developed traffic and frequent north-south traffic, Guangxi began to have a scarlet fever epidemic in the early 1970s. The epidemic began in 1973 in Nanning and was distributed year after year with mild disease and a good prognosis. This article reports that Jingxi County has been circulating since 1974, indicating that scarlet fever has spread from Nanning to remote counties, and it has certain significance in epidemiology.
