Abstract:
Objective To investigate the virus epidemiological characteristics in patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection, so as to provide a basis for clinical treatment. Methods A total fo 1 306 inpatients or outpatients with acute upper respiratory tract infection in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were enrolled. The respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal swab samples were detected by fluorescence immunoassay. The detection rate, clinical characteristics, seasonal distribution, and age distribution of each virus were analyzed. Results In 1 306 patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection, 679 cases were positive for virus culture, with a total positive detection rate of 51.99%. Among the single virus infections, 463 cases were positive for FluV, with a positive detection rate of 35.45%. Five different virus infections showed significant difference among 0 ~ years old, 14 ~ years old, 50 ~ years old and 65 ~ years old groups (P<0.05). The positive detection rates of FluV, PIV, RSV, and RV were the highest in the 0 ~ years old group, while ADV detection rate was the highest in the 65 ~years old group. The distribution of the 5 different viruses in spring, autumn and winter was significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusion Acute upper respiratory tract infection is mainly caused by a single virus, and different viruses has significant differences in age and seasonal distribution.
