Carmina Guitart et al.

Summary: This study analyzed and compared the seasonal peaks of bronchiolitis before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to significant changes in the epidemiology of acute bronchiolitis, with notable differences in age, length of hospital stay, and etiology.

Rhinoviruses as critical agents in severe bronchiolitis in infants

Juliana Cristina Santiago Bastos et al.

Summary: RSV and rhinoviruses are the most commonly detected viruses in severe bronchiolitis cases in infants. However, a significant portion of cases do not show RSV presence, indicating the presence of other viral agents like rhinoviruses.

SARS-CoV-2 Interference of Influenza Virus Replication in Syrian Hamsters

Peter J. Halfmann et al.

Summary: In hamsters, simultaneous or prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 and H3N2 influenza virus led to significantly reduced titers of influenza virus in the lungs and nasal turbinates. This interference may be related to the SARS-CoV-2-induced expression of MX1.

RSV Epidemiology in Australia Before and During COVID-19

Gemma L. Saravanos et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 public health measures have affected the seasonality of RSV in Australia in 2020, but the severity of the epidemic did not increase compared to previous years. The increase in RSV infections among children aged 2 to 4 years may be attributed to population susceptibility and increased testing in older children.

Indirect effects of the covid-19 pandemic on childhood infection in England: population based observational study

Seilesh Kadambari et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on hospital admission rates and mortality outcomes for childhood respiratory infections, severe invasive infections, and vaccine preventable diseases in England. The study found substantial and sustained reductions in hospital admissions for most of the infections studied after the onset of the pandemic. However, there was an increase in the proportion of children admitted for pneumonia who died within 60 days. Continued monitoring of these infections is necessary as social restrictions evolve.

Daniel K. Yeoh et al.

Summary: Public health measures aimed at COVID-19 have led to significant reductions in respiratory syncytial virus and influenza detections among children in Western Australia during winter 2020, despite schools reopening. Border closures are likely playing a key role in limiting external introductions of respiratory viruses.

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on Bronchiolitis Hospitalizations: The Experience of an Italian Tertiary Center

Giacomo Stera et al.

Summary: The study found a significant decrease in hospitalizations for bronchiolitis at the center throughout the entire SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, rather than just during lockdown periods. This suggests a crucial role for cost-effective non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as mandatory face masks and hand hygiene measures in reducing the spread of infectious agents during the pandemic.

Estimation of the Timing and Intensity of Reemergence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Following the COVID-19 Pandemic in the US

Zhe Zheng et al.

Summary: This study found that virus introduction from external sources was associated with the spring and summer epidemics in 2021. Pediatric departments should be alert to large RSV outbreaks in the coming seasons, the intensity of which could depend on the size of the spring and summer epidemic in that location. Enhanced surveillance is recommended for both prophylaxis administration and hospital capacity management.

Summary: During the COVID-19 outbreak, there was a significant decrease in pediatric ED visits for acute bronchiolitis, but there was an increase in the number of children requiring hospitalization. No significant differences in circulating respiratory viruses were observed between the COVID-19 period and previous years.

Rhinovirus: A Narrative Review on Its Genetic Characteristics, Pediatric Clinical Presentations, and Pathogenesis

Etienne Bizot et al.

Summary: Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are a main cause of common colds in children and are increasingly involved in severe clinical infections. They can cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections, with HRV bronchiolitis posing a higher risk of asthma. Although HRVs can be detected in stools, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid, their high rate of asymptomatic carriage and prolonged excretion post-symptoms complicate interpretation.

Impact of public health measures on the post-COVID-19 respiratory syncytial virus epidemics in France

Jacques Fourgeaud et al.

Summary: The study described the impact of public health measures on RSV severe infections in France during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020/2021 RSV outbreak in France involved more children aged 6 to 11 months, but less infants aged < 6 months and less adults compared to previous outbreaks. The outbreak in 2020/2021 resulted in shorter hospital stays, less frequent admission to intensive care unit, and less use of non-invasive ventilation or high-flow nasal oxygen therapy than previous outbreaks.

Epidemiology and prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infections in children in Italy

Chiara Azzari et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major global cause of respiratory infections in infants, leading to a significant number of hospitalizations and deaths each year. More efforts are needed to develop new drugs and prevention strategies. In Italy, RSV is active between November and April, and prevention strategies must protect all neonates and infants under 1 year of age. Improvement in infection surveillance and reporting is crucial, along with the development of access pathways for new agents to reduce the burden of infections and hospitalizations.

COVID-19 and Infant Hospitalizations for Seasonal Respiratory Virus Infections, New Zealand, 2020

Adrian Trenholme et al.

Summary: In March 2020, New Zealand implemented a national elimination strategy for coronavirus disease, leading to a significant decrease in hospitalizations for lower respiratory tract infections among infants <2 years of age and cases of respiratory syncytial or influenza virus infection. These findings suggest additional benefits of coronavirus disease control strategies.
