Respiratory pathogens in infants and young children with acute respiratory illness: a prospective cohort study, China, 2023–2024
Our data provide a better understanding of epidemiological patterns of respiratory pathogens in infants and young children from 2023 to 2024. CMV, <i>A. baumannii,</i> and HRV were the most commonly detected pathogens in common ARI cases, while HAdV and RSV were more frequently observed in hospitalized cases with ARIs. These findings suggest that shifts in the pathogen spectrum are closely linked to disease severity, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and control strategies.
