Seasonality and Co-Detection of Respiratory Viral Infections Among Hospitalised Patients Admitted With Acute Respiratory Illness-Valencia Region, Spain, 2010-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Respiratory viruses are known to represent a high burden in winter, yet the seasonality of many viruses remains poorly understood. Better knowledge of co-circulation and interaction between viruses is critical to prevention and management. We use > 10-year active surveillance in the Valencia Region to assess seasonality and co-circulation.

Methods

Over 2010-2021, samples from patients hospitalised for acute respiratory illness were analysed using multiplex real-time PCR to test for 9 viruses: influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), rhino/enteroviruses (HRV/ENV), metapneumovirus (MPV), bocavirus, adenovirus, SARS-CoV-2 and non-SARS coronaviruses (HCoV). Winter seasonal patterns of incidence were examined. Instances of co-detection o
