Overview

Analysis of pathogen prevalence in children shows increased rates post-COVID-19, highlighting the impact of public health measures.

Key Points

  • Overall positive rates of respiratory pathogens significantly increased from 64.3% to 80.9% between 2020 and 2024.
  • Preschool children exhibited the highest pathogen positivity rates, peaking at 56.5% during the study period.
  • The predominant pathogens included HRV/EV, RSV, and AD, with notable increases in viruses post-pandemic.
  • Co-detection of pathogens rose significantly, particularly among preschool-aged children, indicating changes in infection dynamics.
