Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals changes in respiratory pathogens during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key Points

  • COVID-19 has significantly altered the etiological spectrum of respiratory infections in children, leading to increased pathogen detection rates.
  • Positive detection rates of certain viral and bacterial pathogens, including rhinovirus and streptococcus pneumoniae, varied significantly between 2022 and 2023.
  • Retrospective analysis of 16,571 targeted sequencing results from children revealed key changes in the prevalence of respiratory pathogens during the pandemic.
  • Long-term monitoring of respiratory infections is crucial for guiding effective clinical interventions in the post-pandemic era.
