Abstract
in English, Chinese

Since 2010, the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has ranked top in notifiable infectious disease in China, causing economic losses to many families and the society of China. This paper summarizes the related methods, results and problems systematically in the research of economic burden of HFMD in China to provide reference for the better estimation of the economic burden caused by HFMD. Many studies showed that HFMD, especially severe and fatal cases, had posed heavy economic burden on the society. To mitigate the burden caused by HFMD, it is necessary to decrease the risk of severe and fatal cases, as well as to reduce the incidence of mild cases.

自2010年，手足口病报告病例数一直处于我国法定传染病首位。手足口病给众多家庭及社会带来了经济损失。本文主要聚焦近年来我国关于手足口病经济负担相关的研究，系统地阐述我国手足口病经济负担的研究方法、主要结果及研究中存在的问题，以期为准确估算手足口病经济负担提供参考。诸多研究显示手足口病，尤其是手足口病重症及死亡病例对社会造成了严重的经济负担。应着重减低手足口病重症及死亡的风险，同时减低轻症病例的发病水平，以降低手足口病对家庭和社会的经济负担。.
