Abstract

Introduction: Respiratory infections caused by viruses are becoming a global concern, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic. Due to massive impact of COVID-19 in the past 3 years globally, other viruses causing respiratory illnesses have largely been ignored. But as the COVID-19 pandemic declined, changing trends were seen in the pattern of respiratory viral infections in Pakistan. Aims & Objectives: To study the trends of respiratory viral infections in Pakistan in the winter of 2022/2023 after the decline of Covid-19 pandemic. Material & Methods: A total of 454 samples were evaluated for viral pathogens (Influenza A, Influenza B and Respiratory syncytial virus) by running them on Multiplex Polymerase chain reaction. We received 373 samples from Lahore,46 from Multan,24 from Islamabad,6 from Rawalpindi,4 from Okara and 1 from Sheikhupura. Data was analyzed by applying descriptive statistics using SPSS version 23, a p-value of ?0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of Influenza A virus was 26.4% (120/454 cases), followed by RSV which showed the prevalence of 10% (46/454 cases) whereas Influenza B showed a prevalence of 6%(27/454cases). Conclusion: Influenza A and RSV incidence has surged in the year 2022/2023 which is the post Covid -19 period. There is an increased incidence of Influenza A in the elderly population whereas RSV in children.
后COVID-19时期巴基斯坦旁遮普呼吸道病毒感染趋势
病毒引起的呼吸道感染正在成为全球关注的问题,特别是在2019冠状病毒病大流行之后。由于过去3年COVID-19在全球造成的巨大影响,导致呼吸道疾病的其他病毒在很大程度上被忽视了。但随着COVID-19大流行的消退,巴基斯坦呼吸道病毒感染的模式出现了变化趋势。的目标是,目的:研究2019冠状病毒病疫情下降后巴基斯坦2022/2023年冬季呼吸道病毒感染趋势。材料,方法:采用多重聚合酶链反应对454份样本进行病毒病原体(甲型流感、乙型流感和呼吸道合胞病毒)检测。我们从拉合尔收到373份样本,木尔坦收到46份,伊斯兰堡收到24份,拉瓦尔品第收到6份,奥卡拉收到4份,谢库普拉收到1份。数据采用SPSS 23版描述性统计分析,p值为0.05为显著性。 结果:甲型流感病毒感染率为26.4%(120/454例),其次为RSV病毒,感染率为10%(46/454例),乙型流感病毒感染率为6%(27/454例)。结论:甲型流感和呼吸道合胞病毒的发病率在2019冠状病毒病后的2022/2023年呈上升趋势。甲型流感在老年人群中发病率增加,而呼吸道合胞病毒在儿童中发病率增加。
