“…Respiratory syncytial virus was isolated in their study but not in the present one and this accounts for part of the difference. Banatvala et al (1965) reported a virus isolation rate of 28 2%' but this included two epidemics, one caused by influenza and the other by parainfluenza viruses. In the report of the M.R.C.…”

SummaryBeta-haemolytic streptococci were isolated from 350/ of 525 children who presented to their family doctors with sore throat. The first 306 were investigated bacteriologically and virologically and beta-haemolytic streptococci were isolated from 30%/ and viruses from 14-7%.The ages which had the highest incidence of sore throat, for both sexes, were 7, then 6, 8, and 5. Those with tonsils had a higher incidence of beta-haemolytic streptococci than those without, but the presence or absence of tonsils made no difference to the degree of growth of the streptococci.Viruses were isolated predominantly during the winter months, but streptococci, though mostly isolated in winter, were isolated throughout the rest of the year.

“…In this review, we focused on five viruses that are the major causes of acute respiratory disease, including influenza, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [ 19 ]. These viruses share a relatively short incubation period (1–4 days) and a person-to-person mode of transmission.…”

Many countries have implemented public health and social measures (PHSMs) to control the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Although the PHSMs are targeted at SARS-CoV-2 transmission control, they directly or indirectly impact the epidemiology of different respiratory viral diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the collateral impact of PHSMs used during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the epidemiology of other respiratory viruses, including influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and adenovirus infections. We conducted a systematic review of the published literature on changes in the incidence of respiratory viral diseases and detection rates of the respiratory viruses during COVID-19 pandemic, lasting from 2020–2021, published between December 2019 and March 2022 in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. We identified an overall decrease of 23–94% in the incidence of respiratory viral diseases and a decrease of 0–98% in the detection of the viruses. Our study suggests that the PHSMs implemented during COVID-19 pandemic reduced the incidence of respiratory viral diseases and transmission of respiratory viruses. At the time of this study, and as governments relax PHSMs, public health authorities should prepare for a probable increase in the burden of respiratory viral diseases.
