Abstract

Introduction: This study compared the pattern of viral diarrhoea in Yichang City, China in 2022 and 2023, before and after the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions.

Methods: Stool samples were collected from outpatients and inpatients with diarrhoea at three hospitals in Yichang from January to October 2022 and January to June 2023, before and after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, respectively. Samples were simultaneously tested for 13 types of enteric virus using a rapid multiplex assay that could simultaneously detect 13 types of five enteric viruses, including rotavirus (groups A, B, C and H), norovirus (I, II, IV, VII, VIII, and IX), adenovirus, sapovirus, and astrovirus.

Results: Testing of 458 samples showed variations in pathogen distribution by age group. Specifically, there was an increase in the number of viral infections among adults, a decrease among children, an increase in co-infection rates, and variability in virus positivity in 2023 compared to 2022.

Conclusions: The multiplex assay method improved diagnostic efficiency and provided epidemiological insights. This study highlights the impact of public health transitions on viral diarrhoea epidemiology, underscoring the need for ongoing surveillance and adaptable strategies in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.

期刊介绍： ''Intervirology'' covers progress in both basic and clinical virus research, and aims to provide a forum for the various disciplines within virology. Issues publishing original papers alternate with thematic issues, focusing on clearly defined topics. This thematic concentration serves to make timely reviews, research reports and controversy easily accessible to both specialists in the field and those who want to keep track of the latest developments outside their own area of interest. In addition to original papers, regular issues publish short communications and letters to the editor to provide readers with a forum for the exchange of ideas and comments. The scope encompasses work on the molecular biology of human and animal viruses, including genome organization and regulation, and the structure and function of viral proteins. The pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis, epidemiology, prophylaxis and therapy of viral diseases are considered.
