Overview

Observational analysis reveals viral infections accounted for over 60% of severe respiratory cases in children, indicating ongoing post-COVID challenges.

Key Points

  • Established viral etiology accounted for over 60% of severe acute respiratory infections in children, highlighting the importance of monitoring viral pathogens.
  • Influenza viruses accounted for 52.2% of cases in 2022-2023, with significant contributions from influenza A and B strains.
  • RT-PCR testing of 646 nasopharyngeal swabs from hospitalized children in Ekaterinburg identified a variety of respiratory viruses contributing to infections.
  • Mixed infections frequency more than doubled in the 2023-2024 season, suggesting changing epidemiological patterns post-COVID.
