The course of respiratory tract infections in pediatric hemato-oncology patients during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: single center retrospective cohort study
Children with hematologic-oncologic disease are at risk for RTI. The most common agent was found to be <i>rhinovirus/enterovirus</i>. RTI outbreaks were observed especially as a result of the reductions in non-pharmacological measures implemented during the pandemic. In our study, the largest RTI outbreak was seen between November 2023 and May 2024 following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
