| Abstract |
Acute respiratory infections are a constant public health problem causing childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. Reported cases of major respiratory infections decreased in 2020 after restrictive measures were adopted to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, but there is little data on the impact after these measures were relaxed in the subsequent years. This study conducted molecular analysis to identify rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A virus, and adenovirus in SARS-CoV-2-negative samples taken from symptomatic pediatric patients during 2021 and 2022 to ascertain the impact of pandemic response measures within the broader epidemiological scenario. The positivity rates found were 28.3% and 50.8%, in 2021 and 2022, respectively, representing a significant increase (1.8 times) in the circulation of non-SARS-CoV-2 viruses after the reduction of non-pharmacological measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the positive samples, rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus were most frequent (44.4 and 18% in 2021; 44.5 and 22.5% in 2022), whereas influenza A and adenovirus were found in lower frequency (12.5 and 5.5% in 2021; 13.4 and 4.9% in 2022, respectively). Because these different respiratory virus diseases produce similar symptoms, diagnosis based on clinical condition alone can be inaccurate, and more reliable testing is required to select the best therapeutic approach for each case. The loosening of restrictive measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic led to higher numbers of other respiratory infections in pediatric patients. Ongoing surveillance and differential diagnosis of respiratory viruses are required to better understand their seasonal patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic to guide prevention and control strategies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 August 2023.
All research outputs
#6,408,614
of 25,365,817 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Microbiology
#117
of 1,339 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#92,184
of 347,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Microbiology
#1
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,365,817 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,339 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 347,806 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
