Molecular surveillance reveals altered seasonality of influenza and RSV in hospitalized children, suggesting new vaccination strategies.

To characterize the incidence, seasonality, and co-infection patterns of RSV and influenza among hospitalized children.
Collected 586 nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal samples from children aged 0-5 years hospitalized with respiratory symptoms.
Utilized multiplex real-time PCR to detect RSV, SARS-CoV-2, and influenza A and B.
Employed chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests and generalized linear models for statistical analysis.
27% tested positive for influenza, with peaks in autumn for influenza.
6% tested positive for RSV, peaking in winter.
6.3% tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, peaking in spring.
Co-infections were rare at 0.9%.
