Abstract

Background: We aimed to evaluate the effects of public health measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic on respiratory viruses.

Methods: The study was conducted between February 1, 2021 and December 1, 2022. Patients aged 1 month to 18 years hospitalized for infectious diseases were tested for SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory viruses by multiplex PCR.

Results: Of the total 1173 patients, 56.2% were male and 43.8% were female, and 47.5% of the patients were under 24 months of age. The viruses detected were SARS-CoV-2 31.9%, human rhinovirus/enterovirus 19.4%, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 9.3%, parainfluenza virus 7%, adenovirus 6%, seasonal coronavirus 5.2%, bocavirus 3.8%, influenza 3.1%, and metapneumovirus 2.8%. Among the patients, 386 were hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections, 238 with upper respiratory tract infections, 202 to evaluate fever etiology, 111 with acute gastroenteritis and 236 with other diagnoses. Of these patients, 113 were admitted to the intensive care unit. Intensive care unit admission rates were statistically significantly higher for bocavirus and RSV, in those hospitalized between July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022 (first period when schools were held full-time face-toface at all grades) and in children aged 1-24 months.

Conclusions: Public health measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the seasonal distribution of respiratory viruses and the severity of illness in children.

COVID-19大流行期间采取的措施对儿童呼吸道病毒季节性动态的影响。

背景:本研究旨在评价2019冠状病毒病大流行期间采取的公共卫生措施对呼吸道病毒的影响。方法:研究时间为2021年2月1日至2022年12月1日。采用多重PCR检测1个月~ 18岁感染性疾病住院患者SARS-CoV-2及呼吸道病毒。结果:1173例患者中，男性占56.2%，女性占43.8%，年龄在24月龄以下的占47.5%。检出的病毒分别为SARS-CoV-2 31.9%、人鼻病毒/肠道病毒19.4%、呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV) 9.3%、副流感病毒7%、腺病毒6%、季节性冠状病毒5.2%、博卡病毒3.8%、流感3.1%、偏肺病毒2.8%。其中下呼吸道感染386例，上呼吸道感染238例，发热病因鉴定202例，急性肠胃炎111例，其他诊断236例。在这些患者中，113人住进了重症监护病房。在2021年7月1日至2022年7月1日(所有年级首次实行全日制面对面教学)期间住院的患者和1-24个月大的儿童中，bocavavirus和RSV的重症监护病房住院率在统计学上显著较高。结论:新冠肺炎大流行期间采取的公共卫生措施影响了呼吸道病毒的季节性分布和儿童疾病的严重程度。
