Acute respiratory infections can be triggered by different pathogens, including Myxovirus influenzae. All age groups can be affected by this disease, but some are more susceptible to developing complications, such as children, who can develop Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Therefore, the objective of this study were to investigate the prevalence of the influenza virus and its subtypes, with COVID-19 during the pandemic period and compare it with official case data. Samples were collected from pediatric patients suspected of having a respiratory virus infection between May 2020 and April 2022 in five hospitals, totaling 606 participants, and 59 participants were selected for the study because they had an infection caused by influenza. Together, a static analysis of the Secretary of State's SARS cases was carried out and compared with the study. Data from the secretariat .. View More»
