Overview

Epidemiological analysis shows rising respiratory infections in children, highlighting infection control needs in South Korea.

Key Points

  • To analyze long-term trends of human adenovirus infections in South Korea pre- and post-pandemic.
  • Retrospective analysis of 23,284 nasopharyngeal swabs from 2007 to 2024.
  • Detection of HAdV via real-time PCR.
  • Comparison of positivity rates by year, season, and age group.
  • 2043 positive cases of human adenovirus were identified.
  • Annual positivity peaked in 2010, 2013, and 2016, declining sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Positivity rates were higher in children aged 1-5 years compared to older adults.
