Exploring the respiratory viral landscape beyond influenza and SARS-CoV-2: a 2020-2023 study in Fujian, China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In this study, we investigated the local epidemiology and pathogen spectrum of acute respiratory infections caused by common respiratory viruses other than influenza virus (IFV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Fujian Province, China, from September 2020 to December 2023.

Methods

Samples negative for IFV and SARS-CoV-2 were randomly selected from individuals presenting with influenza-like illness. These samples were tested for seven common respiratory viruses-human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human adenovirus (HAdV), rhinovirus (RV), human metapneumovirus, human coronavirus (HCoV), and human bocavirus. Quantification fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used for detection.<
