Viral acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are an important cause of illness in athletes. However, their impact on ice hockey players is unclear.
We describe an outbreak of ARIs in a professional ice hockey team.
Contrary to expected influenza, the 40-day outbreak was caused by 8 different respiratory viruses, that is, 2 different influenza A viruses, human coronavirus-NL63 (HCoV-NL63), respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) A and B, 2 different rhinoviruses, enterovirus D68, and parainfluenza type 2 virus.
Only influenza A and HCoV-NL63 were possibly spread within the team thus suggesting an important contraction from the community. The burden of illness was substantial.
病毒急性呼吸道感染(ARI)是运动员患病的一个重要原因。然而,它们对冰球运动员的影响尚不清楚。
我们描述了一起职业冰球队伍中发生的 ARI 暴发事件。
与预期的流感不同,这次持续 40 天的暴发是由 8 种不同的呼吸道病毒引起的,即 2 种不同的甲型流感病毒、人冠状病毒-NL63(HCoV-NL63)、呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)A 和 B、2 种不同的鼻病毒、肠道病毒 D68 和副流感病毒 2 型。
仅甲型流感病毒和 HCoV-NL63 可能在队内传播,这表明可能从社区中传入。发病负担很大。
