Detection of respiratory viruses
Among individuals of any age, the detection of the nine respiratory
viruses investigated in this study ranged between 0.2%-16.7% among
controls, 0.6%-26.2% among patients with ILI and 0.6%-22.1% among
patients with SRI. Rhinovirus was the most detected virus among controls
(16.7%; 354/2,119) and patients with ILI (26.2%; 961/3,672) or SRI
(22.1%; 962/4,358) (Table 1-2 and S1). Among controls, the most
detected viruses following rhinovirus were adenovirus (7.1%; 150/2,119)
and enterovirus (2.4%; 51/2,119). All other viruses were detected in
<2% of samples in this group (Table S1). Following
rhinovirus, the most detected viruses were influenza (13.1%; 480/3,672)
and adenovirus (8.9%; 327/3,672) among patients with ILI (Table 1 and
S1) and RSV (9.9%; 432/4,358) and adenovirus (8.8%; 385/4,358) among
patients with SRI (Table 2 and S1). The circulation patterns of the
respiratory viruses investigated in this study are provided in Figure 1.
