Discussion

Observational analysis shows circulating respiratory pathogens in patients with SARI, indicating ongoing surveillance is critical.

Among 138 patients diagnosed with SARI, 40% tested positive for sars-cov-2, highlighting its ongoing prevalence.
Influenza positivity was noted at 20%, with A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) strains identified, indicating diverse circulation.
Patients had an average age of 76.7 years, often with comorbidities, underscoring the vulnerability of older populations.
