“…Respiratory viruses have been shown to persist on surfaces for a few days [14,17], with a potential role in nosocomial transmission, as emphasized during the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic of 2003 [18]. Epidemic viruses have already been retrieved from electronicdevice surfaces such as keyboards, computers and telephone handsets [10,12,17,[19][20][21]. However, the viral contamination of HCW MPs using up-to-date methods has not been studied.…”

Mobile phones (MPs) are potential reservoirs of nosocomial bacteria, but few data are available concerning viruses. We aimed to evaluate the presence of virus RNA from epidemic viruses including metapneumovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza viruses, rotavirus (RV) and norovirus on the MPs used by healthcare workers (HCWs) and to relate it to hygiene measures. An anonymous behavioural questionnaire about MP use at hospital was administered to the HCWs of four adult and paediatric departments of a university hospital. After sampling personal (PMP) and/or professional MPs (digital enhanced cordless telephone, DECT), virus RNAs were extracted and amplified by one-step real-time reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The molecular results were analysed in a masked manner in relation to the behavioural survey. Questionnaires from 114 HCWs (35 senior physicians, 30 residents, 32 nurses, 27 nurses' assistants) working either in adult (n = 58) or paediatric (n = 56) departments were analysed. Medical personnel used their PMP more frequently than paramedical HCWs (33/65 vs. 10/59, p <0.001). MPs were used during care more frequently in adult wards than in paediatric ones (46/58 vs. 27/56, p <0.001). Virus RNA was detected on 42/109 (38.5%) collected MPs, with RV found on 39, respiratory syncytial virus on three and metapneumovirus on one. The presence of virus RNA was significantly associated with MPs from the paediatric HCWs (p <0.001). MPs routinely used in hospital, even during care, can host virus RNA, especially RV. Promotion of frequent hand hygiene before and after MP use, along with frequent cleaning of MPs, should be encouraged.

“…However, in the K-CDC dataset, the detection of ADV and BOV was not significantly affected by social distancing as the positive rates for these viruses were not significantly reduced during the social distancing period (Table 3). This may be due to the long-term survival of these respiratory viruses in the surrounding environment, which may result in frequent fomite transmission [14,15], or due to colonization (rather than infection) of the respiratory tract by these respiratory viruses [16]. In the case of RSV, the period of social distancing overlapped with the RSV outbreak reduction period, and the period after the end of the social distancing period did not represent the usual RSV The proportion of negative respiratory virus PCR test results, which was close to 90% during the social distancing period, decreased to 50% within 3 weeks of the discontinuation of level 3 social distancing in the K-CDC dataset.…”

During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, social distancing was effective in controlling disease spread across South Korea. The impact of national social distancing on the spread of common respiratory virus infections has rarely been investigated. We evaluated the weekly proportion of negative respiratory virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results and weekly positive rates of each respiratory virus during the social distancing period (10th–41st weeks of 2020) and the corresponding period in different years, utilizing the national respiratory virus surveillance dataset reported by the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The proportions of negative respiratory virus PCR test results increased up to 87.8% and 86.1% during level 3 and level 2 of the social distancing period, respectively. The higher the level of social distancing, the higher the proportion of negative respiratory virus PCR test results. During the social distancing period, the mean weekly positive rates for parainfluenza virus, influenza virus, human coronavirus, and human metapneumovirus were significantly lower than those during the same period in 2015–2019 (0.1% vs. 9.3%, P <0.001; 0.1% vs. 7.2%, P <0.001; 0.4% vs. 2.3%, P <0.001; and 0.2% vs. 5.3%, P <0.001, respectively). The mean positive rate for rhinovirus/enterovirus during level 3 social distancing was lower than that in the same period in 2015–2019 (8.5% vs. 19.0%, P <0.001), but the rate during level 1 social distancing was higher than that in the same period in 2015–2019 (38.3% vs. 19.4%, P <0.001). The national application of social distancing reduced the spread of common respiratory virus infections during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Las infecciones respiratorias agudas son un problema prioritario mundial de morbimortalidad infantil y son causadas predominantemente por virus, entre los que destacan el virus respiratorio sincicial (VRS), virus influenza (FLU) y adenovirus (ADV).Los ADV normalmente causan infecciones respiratorias altas, pero pueden provocar infecciones bajas muy graves, que dejan secuelas y tienen alta letalidad.Requieren un manejo clínico y epidemiológico especial para evitar los graves brotes nosocomiales observados en Latinoamérica. Esto incluye un diagnóstico rápido hecho con técnicas de inmunodiagnóstico y reacción en cadena polimerasa (PCR), aislamiento individual del paciente y terapia de soporte.En pacientes inmunocomprometidos, la infección por ADV representa un gran desafío para el diagnóstico, con uso de PCR cuantitativo (qPCR) y eventual tratamiento antiviral.El objetivo de esta revisión es el de actualizar las propiedades, patogenia, epidemiología y diagnóstico del ADV, con énfasis en los cuadros respiratorios de mayor morbimortalidad que se producen en algunos niños.
