Article Synopsis
- - Respiratory viruses are a major public health concern, causing significant illness and death in both kids and adults; this study focused on their incidence from 2019 to 2022, especially post-COVID-19.
- - Over the study period, researchers analyzed nearly 2,500 samples and found that 47.6% tested positive for viruses, with detection rates fluctuating annually, notably high for rhinovirus and significant changes in other viruses.
- - The study used advanced diagnostic kits, revealing a high effectiveness in identifying respiratory viruses, and calls for continuous monitoring to adapt public health strategies to the changing virus landscape.
The aim of this study was to investigate the reinfection rates and characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 RNA present in their clinical specimens for COVID-19. Our data from the COVID-19 Laboratory of Istanbul University were analyzed for 27,240 cases between 27 March 2020 to 8 February 2022. Demographic characteristics, vaccination statuses, comorbidities, and laboratory findings were evaluated in cases with suspected reinfection, as determined by the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA at a rate of 0.

Given the importance of the intensive care unit (ICU) in the late stages of COVID-19 infection, analyzing cycle threshold values to detect viral load upon ICU admission can be a clinically valuable tool for identifying patients with the highest mortality risk.
Methods: This was a retrospectively designed study.
