Influenza Other Respir Viruses. 2023 Sep;17(9):e13199. doi: 10.1111/irv.13199.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the implemented control measures have impacted the circulation of respiratory-transmitted pathogens. In this report, we present data from a retrospective study that included 17,883 specimens conducted between 2018 and 2022 in our facility, describing the dynamics of circulation of the main respiratory viruses. We observed a significant decrease in all viral detections (other than SARS-CoV-2) starting from March 2020. However, rhinovirus maintained comparable levels to the pre-pandemic period. Additionally, influenza viruses were not detected during the 2020-2021 season, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) exhibited a shift in its seasonality, with an epidemic peak occurring in the summer of 2021.
COVID-19 大流行和实施的控制措施影响了呼吸道传播病原体的传播。在本报告中,我们提供了来自我们机构在 2018 年至 2022 年期间进行的一项回顾性研究的数据,描述了主要呼吸道病毒传播的动态。我们观察到,自 2020 年 3 月以来,所有病毒检测(除了 SARS-CoV-2 以外)都显著下降。然而,鼻病毒的水平与大流行前时期相当。此外,在 2020-2021 季节期间未检测到流感病毒,呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)的季节性发生了变化,其流行高峰出现在 2021 年夏季。
