Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies non-SARS-CoV-2 pathogens causing respiratory illness in adults, highlighting diagnostic gaps.

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory pathogens in patients with influenza-like illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from July to December 2022 with 165 adults
  • Nasopharyngeal swabs analyzed using multiplex real-time PCR
  • Statistical assessments included Chi-squared tests and one-sided Fisher's exact tests with BH-FDR correction.
  • 59 of 165 participants (35.8%) had at least one pathogen identified
  • Human rhinovirus was the most detected viral pathogen (45.7%)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most detected bacterial pathogen (72.4%).
