BackgroundDuring the 2023/24 influenza season in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), influenza viruses A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses were co-circulating.AimWe aimed to describe the circulating influenza viruses by (sub)type, genetic clade, antigenic group and antiviral susceptibility in that season in the EU/EEA.MethodsWe collected surveillance data from EU/EEA countries through weekly submissions to The European Surveillance System (TESSy).

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, to assess the incidence of respiratory viral infections in bone marrow transplant patients, using respiratory specimens collected over a year.
- Out of 85 patients, 36.4% tested positive for respiratory viruses, with human rhinovirus being the most common.
- The findings emphasize the need for early diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections in these patients, suggesting the effectiveness of multiplex polymerase chain reaction as a diagnostic tool.
In the last week of September 2023, a surge of influenza-like illness was observed among students of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Health Service Education and Training Center, where 48 (27 males and 21 females; age in years: mean 33, range 27-41) of 247 military students at the Center presented with respiratory symptoms. Between September 25 and October 10, 2023, all 48 symptomatic students were evaluated with real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and sequencing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Thirteen (27%) students were found positive for influenza A/H3 only, 6 (13%) for SARS-CoV-2 only, and 4 (8%) were co-infected with influenza A/H3 and SARS-CoV-2.

Purpose: This study aims to describe the prevalence and the fluctuations of respiratory viral infections among the pediatric population in a tertiary care center during 2019-2023, parallel with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specific preventative measures applied in the region during this time.
Methods: In this observational study, we extracted all respiratory virus PCR tests collected from pediatric patients (< 15 years old) between January 2019 and March 2023. Data on the positivity rate and prevalence of 18 respiratory viruses were presented over the study period.
