Overview

Epidemiological analysis identifies significant climatic drivers of multiple pathogens in children, suggesting new preventive strategies.

Key Points

  • M. pneumoniae, adenovirus, and RSV were the most prevalent pathogens affecting children in Wuhan.
  • Analysis using GAM-DLNMs revealed that low humidity preceded RSV surges by 7–14 days, indicating a significant climatic impact.
  • Seasonal variations showed that RSV and influenza A peaked in winter, while adenovirus cases peaked in spring.
  • Distinct age and sex distributions were found, highlighting the need for targeted respiratory disease surveillance in children.
