Interaction analysis of non-bacterial respiratory pathogens during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in two cities along the eastern coast of China.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and associated non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have significantly altered the epidemiology of respiratory pathogens. Understanding the interactions between non-bacterial respiratory pathogens is crucial for clinical management and surveillance.

Objective

To investigate how interactions among non-bacterial respiratory pathogens in children changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in two cities in eastern China.

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed the data of children hospitalized with acute respiratory tract infections in Wenzhou and Ningbo between March 1, 2021, and February 28, 2024. The SureX 13 respiratory pathogen multiplex kit was used to detect 13 pathogen types/subtypes in the respi
