Epidemiological investigation of lower respiratory tract infections during influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus pandemic based on targeted next-generation sequencing

ConclusionDuring the current pandemic, the influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus may have been influenced by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and did not exhibit a strong pathogenicity. In fact, patients infected with influenza A virus showed better prognoses compared to those infected with other pathogens. Additionally, tNGS demonstrated excellent detection performance in this study and showed great potential, prompting clinical physicians to consider its use as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.
