Respiratory viruses in the pre and post-pandemic periods in an Italian tertiary hospital

Abstract

We have appreciated the article published by Bardsley and colleagues describing the seasonal circulation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in UK children, and we hope to contribute to increase information on this intriguing and elusive topic. We describe our epidemiological trend with the aim to add a small brick to the current knowledge regarding respiratory infections due to RSV and other respiratory viruses in an era that is changing due to a radical change in the evaluation of respiratory symptoms following the pandemic event.
