[Surveillance of healthy people's Japanese encephalitis neutralizing antibody in some areas of Henan Province].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the prevalence characteristics and influence factors of Japanese encephalitis (JE) neutralizing antibody in healthy people.


METHODS
Xinyang and Luoyang is the two cities in Henan Province. In 2010, healthy people of these two cities were selected by random sampling method to eight age groups: less than one year old, 1 -2 years old, 3 -4, 5 -6, 7 -14, 15 -19, 20 -59,and above 60 years old, their blood specimens were collected in May before JE infection and in November after JE infection, then followed with epidemiological investigation for JE neutralizing antibody by MCPENT.


RESULTS
519 healthy people were surveyed, 1008 effective blood specimens were collected and tested. The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate was 59.52% in men, and 67.39% in male, these two rates had no statistical significance (chi2 = 3.41, P > 0.05). The JE neutralizing antibody was 58.66% in May, and 61.20% in November, these two rates had no statistical significance (chi2 = 0.68, P > 0.05). The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate of 0 - 14 years old age group was 55.19% in Xinyang, and 45.03% in Luoyang,these two rates had no statistical significance (chi2 = 3.53, P > 0. 05). The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate of above 15 years old age group is 97.78% in Xinyang,and 48.94% in Luoyang, these two rates had statistical significance (chi2 = 55.42, P < 0.05). The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate of JE vaccination was 56.85%, and 38.35% in no JE vaccination, these two rates had statistical significance (chi2 = 10.88, P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate was showing significant differences in people above 15 years old between Xinyang and Luoyang. The JE neutralizing antibody positive rate was showing significant differences between JE vaccination and no vaccination. Xinyang and Luoyang City, recommended strengthening the 0 - 14 year-olds immunized, and at the same time, exploring and paying attention to JE immunization strategy of people above 15 years old in Luoyang.
