Abstract

Background

Viral acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are an important cause of illness in athletes. However, their impact on ice hockey players is unclear.

Method

We describe an outbreak of ARIs in a professional ice hockey team.

Results

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.

Conclusion

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.

职业冰球队爆发呼吸道病毒感染。

背景：病毒性急性呼吸道感染（ARI）是导致运动员患病的重要原因之一。然而，它们对冰上曲棍球运动员的影响尚不明确：我们描述了在一支职业冰球队中爆发的急性呼吸道感染：结果：与预期的流感不同，这次为期 40 天的疫情是由 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）、甲型和乙型呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）、2 种不同的鼻病毒、肠道病毒 D68 和 2 型副流感病毒：结论：只有甲型流感病毒和 HCoV-NL63 有可能在团队中传播，这表明有大量病毒来自社区。患病人数众多。
