Trend in respiratory viruses' activity in the COVID-19 area

CONCLUSIONS: The fall in the number of respiratory viruses detected might be related to the lower number of tests performed and the implementation of non pharmaceutical intervention (NPI). Then, all viruses except influenza are detected, probably as a consequence of high adherence to influenza vaccines. Despite, a lower number of tests being performed, the rate of hMPV-positive and hPIV-positive patients increased suggesting an active circulation of these viruses. Altogether, these findings suggest a persistent circulation of common respiratory viruses all over the COVID-19 era.PMID:37864446 | DOI:10.1684/abc.2023.1827
