Changes in paediatric respiratory infections at a UK teaching hospital 2016-2021; impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Sheila F. Lumley et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had a significant impact on the incidence of paediatric viral respiratory tract infection in Oxfordshire, UK. The findings have implications for clinical service demand, testing strategies, timing of palivizumab RSV prophylaxis, and the effectiveness of public health interventions in preventing respiratory virus infections.

Modeling the disruption of respiratory disease clinical trials by non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 interventions

Simon Arsene et al.

Summary: A computational mechanistic viral infection model and trial simulation suggest that respiratory disease clinical trials should be adapted to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic mitigation measures. The study highlights the challenges faced by respiratory disease trials due to non-pharmaceutical interventions and recommends the use of adaptive trial design and adapted statistical analyses to assess the clinical relevance of these trials.

Respiratory viruses in pediatric emergency department patients and their family members

Nelsa Matienzo et al.

Summary: This study found that respiratory viruses are common in pediatric emergency department visits, with human rhinovirus being the most frequently detected pathogen. The seasonal distribution of influenza, HRV, RSV, and coronavirus varies, and children with HRV were more likely to have a history of asthma. Co-infection rates were higher in children than in adults.ược

Aetiology of acute respiratory infection in preschool children requiring hospitalisation in Europe-results from the PED-MERMAIDS multicentre case-control study

Malte Kohns Vasconcelos et al.

Summary: The study found that RSV is the leading cause of ARI hospitalizations in young children in Europe, with detection of RSV, influenza virus, PIV, or metapneumovirus on NP swabs establishing the etiology with high probability. Influenza viruses, PIVs, and metapneumoviruses also showed strong associations with ARI hospitalization.

Epidemiology of Respiratory Pathogens in Children with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection and Impact of the Multiplex PCR Film Array Respiratory Panel: A 2-Year Study

Asmae Lamrani Hanchi et al.

Summary: The study described the epidemiology of respiratory pathogens involved in severe respiratory infections in children and found that factors such as season and age group play a role in affecting the infections. It also emphasized the importance of multiplex PCR in confirming viral origin, thus avoiding unnecessary prescription of antibiotics.

The Effects of Social Distancing Policies on Non-SARS-CoV-2 Respiratory Pathogens

Jeff Nawrocki et al.

Summary: The study found that social distancing policies had a mitigating effect on the circulation of respiratory pathogens such as human rhinovirus/enterovirus, human metapneumovirus, and influenza A, especially during seasonal transitions. The total detection rate in April 2020 was 35% lower than the historical average, with many pathogens showing a decrease in detection rates within two weeks of policy implementation.

Summary: Research indicates that a significant proportion of COVID-19 patients are coinfected with other respiratory pathogens, predominantly bacteria and viruses. Timely identification of coinfections can lead to better patient outcomes and improved antibiotic stewardship.
