Non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infections in pediatric populations during the pandemic

Key Points

Viral co-detections occur frequently in pediatric patients, highlighting a significant concern during the pandemic.
The study specifically identifies rhinovirus and human bocavirus as prevalent in non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infections.

Structured PICO

Population

Pediatric patients with non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in Taiwan during the pandemic

Outcome

Occurrence of viral co-detections

Rhinovirus and HBoV are frequently co-detected in pediatric non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract infections during the pandemic in Taiwan.

Abstract

Our study demonstrates the occurrence of viral co-detections in pediatric patients with non-SARS-CoV-2 RTIs during the pandemic. The frequent detection of rhinovirus and HBoV warrants further investigation into their clinical significance in Taiwanese children with RTIs.
