Abstract
Background
Respiratory viruses are known to represent a high burden in winter, yet the seasonality of many viruses remains poorly understood. Better knowledge of co-circulation and interaction between viruses is critical to prevention and management. We use > 10-year active surveillance in the Valencia Region to assess seasonality and co-circulation.
Methods
Over 2010–2021, samples from patients hospitalised for acute respiratory illness were analysed using multiplex real-time PCR to test for 9 viruses: influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), rhino/enteroviruses (HRV/ENV), metapneumovirus (MPV), bocavirus, adenovirus, SARS-CoV-2 and non-SARS coronaviruses (HCoV). Winter seasonal patterns of incidence were examined. Instances of co-detection of multiple viruses in a sample were analysed and compared with expected values under a crude model of independent circulation.
Results
Most viruses exhibited consistent patterns between years. Specifically, RSV and influenza seasons were clearly defined, peaking in December–February, as did HCoV and SARS-CoV-2. MPV, PIV and HRV/ENV showed less clear seasonality, with circulation outside the observed period. All viruses circulated in January, suggesting any pair had opportunity for co-infection. Multiple viruses were found in 4% of patients, with more common co-detection in children under 5 (9%) than older ages. Influenza co-detection was generally observed infrequently relative to expectation, while RSV co-detections were more common, particularly among young children.
Conclusions
We identify characteristic patterns of viruses associated with acute respiratory hospitalisation during winter. Simultaneous circulation permits extensive co-detection of viruses, particularly in young children. However, virus combinations appear to differ in their rates of co-detection, meriting further study.
