Overview

Observational study revealed distinct viral causes in severe acute respiratory infections, highlighting implications for public health strategies.

Key Points

  • Overall virus infection rate in SARI patients reached 28.96%, primarily driven by influenza virus and COVID-19.
  • Multiplex real-time quantitative PCR identified influenza A virus as the most prevalent at 11.33%, with significant age-specific distribution.
  • Observational study conducted in Shouguang People's Hospital included 1,730 hospitalized SARI patients across various hospital departments.
  • Findings imply substantial variability in viral distribution among different age groups, emphasizing targeted management strategies.
