Mixed viral infections of the respiratory tract; an epidemiological study during consecutive winter seasons

The current study aimed to explain the molecular epidemiology of mixed respiratory viral infections throughout consecutive winter seasons in a very tertiary care hospital. Patients with symptoms of tract infection were evaluated throughout the 2009‐2011 and 2013‐15 winter seasons.

 A clinical microarray technique was used for viral detection. Clinical and epidemiological knowledge were related to with mixed viral detection and therefore that would like for hospitalization.

 In 332 out of 604 (54.4%) evaluated patients (17.6% children) a metastasis virus was known. Mixed infectious agent infections were diagnosed in 68/332 (20.5%) patients with virus detection (66.2% mixed Influenza‐RSV infections).

Mixed viral infections where a lot of usually detected in youngsters (OR 3.7; 95%CI 1.9‐5.6, P < 0.01) and patients with comorbidities.

In supplying regression analyses, mixed viral infections were related to younger age (mean age 30.4 years vs. 41.8 years, P ≤ 0.001) and redoubled rates of fever (OR: 2.7; 95%CI 1.04‐7.2, P < 0.05) however no adverse outcomes or redoubled rates of hospitalization.

High rates of mixed viral infections were noted throughout all winter seasons (especially flu and RSV) and were a lot of common in younger patients. The clinical significance of mixed respiratory viral infection wants more elucidation.
