Overview

Analysis of respiratory viruses shows high infection rates in hospitalized children, indicating the altered landscape of respiratory infections during COVID-19.

Key Points

  • About 88.2% of children hospitalized tested positive for at least one respiratory virus, indicating a significant prevalence of infections.
  • The most common viruses detected were human rhinovirus at 56.4%, human metapneumovirus at 53%, and respiratory syncytial virus at 18.2%.
  • Co-infections with respiratory viruses were linked to severe outcomes, including pneumonia and seizures in affected children.
  • The study emphasizes the need for ongoing surveillance and early detection in high-risk pediatric populations, especially during pandemics.
