WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are a significant contributor to illness and death in children. There has been a notable rise in the occurrence of ARIs and the associated pathogens in China, which has garnered worldwide attention.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of children with ARIs in Wuhan City from September to November 2023. The study evaluated the epidemiological patterns of common respiratory viruses and (MP), revealing a continued prevalence of MP and a growing trend of influenza. Our findings emphasize that the circulation of respiratory viruses and MP has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, underscoring the importance of enhancing surveillance for respiratory pathogens.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: The epidemiology of ARIs and the pathogens involved need to be emphasized. This highlights the importance of developing policies to protect children from respiratory pathogens such as MP, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:急性呼吸道感染(ARIs)是导致儿童患病和死亡的一个重要因素。在中国,ARIs及其相关病原体的发生率显著上升,这已引起全球关注。
本报告新增了哪些内容?:本研究对2023年9月至11月武汉市急性呼吸道感染儿童的临床特征进行了回顾性分析。该研究评估了常见呼吸道病毒和肺炎支原体(MP)的流行模式,发现MP持续流行,流感呈上升趋势。我们的研究结果强调,呼吸道病毒和MP的传播尚未恢复到疫情前的水平,这凸显了加强对呼吸道病原体监测的重要性。
对公共卫生实践有何启示?:需要强调ARIs的流行病学及相关病原体。这突出了制定政策保护儿童免受MP、流感和呼吸道合胞病毒等呼吸道病原体侵害的重要性。
