The aim of this retrospective analysis was to provide information on how infections with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) differ in symptoms, clinical course, outcome, and utilization of hospital care. We investigated 748 polymerase chain reaction results from symptomatic children aged 0-4 years in Cologne, Germany. One hundred sixty-nine patients tested positive for RSV (22.6%) and 24 children for SARS-CoV-2 (3.2%). Symptomatic patients with RSV infection were hospitalized significantly longer. RSV-positive patients needed oxygen supplementation significantly more often as well as high-flow therapy. With regard to care efforts, RSV-infected patients put higher pressure on the hospital and utilized more hospital resources.
本回顾性分析旨在提供有关呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV) 和严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 感染在症状、临床过程、结局和医院护理利用方面的差异信息。我们调查了德国科隆 748 名有症状的 0-4 岁儿童的聚合酶链反应结果。169 名患者 RSV 检测呈阳性(22.6%),24 名儿童 SARS-CoV-2 检测呈阳性(3.2%)。患有 RSV 感染的有症状患者住院时间明显更长。需要补充氧气的 RSV 阳性患者以及需要高流量治疗的患者明显更多。在护理方面,感染 RSV 的患者对医院的压力更大,利用了更多的医院资源。
