The return of RSV during the COVID-19 pandemic

Fernando Ferrero et al.

Summary: RSV hospitalizations declined in 2020 due to the pandemic, but it has now returned with the end of the Southern Hemisphere 2021 winter. The impact of pandemic mitigation measures on respiratory virus circulation is difficult to determine, but acute respiratory infections in children are returning to their normal epidemiology.

Off-season RSV epidemics in Australia after easing of COVID-19 restrictions

John-Sebastian Eden et al.

Summary: Non-pharmaceutical interventions and travel restrictions for COVID-19 have impacted the circulation of respiratory viruses, including RSV. This study reports the resurgence of RSV in Australia following the lifting of some restrictions, and describes a reduction in genetic diversity in circulating RSV clades.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: Impact Caused by School Closure and National Lockdown on Pediatric Visits and Admissions for Viral and Nonviral Infections-a Time Series Analysis

Francois Angoulvant et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 lockdown and school closures, there was a significant decrease in emergency visits for infectious diseases transmitted through airborne or fecal-oral routes, including common cold, gastroenteritis, bronchiolitis, and acute otitis. However, there was no change in urinary tract infections.

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.

Bronchiolitis in COVID-19 times: a nearly absent disease?

Daan Van Brusselen et al.

Summary: Stay-at-home orders, physical distancing, and face masks have significantly reduced the number of bronchiolitis hospitalizations in Antwerp and registered RSV cases in Belgium. The 2020 winter bronchiolitis peak is currently non-existent, but concerns remain for a potential 'delayed' spring/summer peak as NPIs are relaxed and pre-pandemic life resumes.

Impact of the COVID-19 nonpharmaceutical interventions on influenza and other respiratory viral infections in New Zealand

Q. Sue Huang et al.

Summary: New Zealand has successfully controlled COVID-19 by implementing strict non-pharmaceutical interventions, leading to a significant decline in reports of influenza and other non-influenza respiratory pathogens during the winter months when these interventions were in place.

Absence of detection of RSV and influenza during the COVID-19 pandemic in a Brazilian cohort: Likely role of lower transmission in the community

Fernanda Hammes Varela et al.

Summary: RSV and influenza are prevalent seasonal community viruses, and this study aimed to report the detection of these viruses during the period of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that while SARS-CoV-2 was positive in 32.7% of participants, influenza and RSV were not detected at all. This suggests that measures to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission may have had a significant impact on the spread of other respiratory pathogens.

Resurgence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections during COVID-19 Pandemic, Tokyo, Japan

Mugen Ujiie et al.

Summary: Despite effective infection control measures in Tokyo, a high number of respiratory syncytial virus infections were reported, possibly due to the resumption of social activities for children.

Pediatric Infectious Disease Group (GPIP) position paper on the immune debt of the COVID-19 pandemic in childhood, how can we fill the immunity gap?

Robert Cohen et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the incidence of many viral and bacterial infections in children, leading to a positive short-term effect of preventing healthcare system overload. However, the reduced exposure to pathogens and vaccination rates may result in a potential immunity debt and increase the risk of future epidemics when non-pharmaceutical interventions are lifted.
