“…Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as mandatory face coverings and social distancing, played a crucial role in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates. Studies have shown that COVID-19 NPIs were associated with reduced transmission of other viruses, such as HAdV and influenza (35)(36)(37). Our results support those findings; HAdV-F was not detectable in wastewater during July 2020-October 2021, when mandatory NPIs were in place in Ireland.…”

Organization (WHO) received reports of 1,010 probable cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown etiology (SAHUE) in young children from 35 countries (1). Many cases resulted in severe clinical outcomes; ≈5% of patients required liver transplants, and 22 died. Most (48%) cases were reported from the WHO European Region, and 484 cases were reported in previously healthy children from 21 countries (1). Ireland reported 28 probable cases of SAHUE in non-A-E hepatitis, including 2 patients who received liver transplants and 1 who died but did not receive a transplant (2).The causes of SAHUE remain unclear. A possible connection with SARS-CoV-2 has been suggested (3), but SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in only 16% of SAHUE cases reported in the WHO European Region (1). Recent studies suggest a possible association between SAHUE and human adenovirus (HAdV) species F type 41 (HAdV-F41) and adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) infections (4,5; A. Ho et al., unpub. data,

“…Although other studies have similarly found reductions in non-COVID CARVs in the setting of NPI to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 spread, 9 - 11 to our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate the impact of NPI on non-CARV respiratory, bloodborne, and urinary tract infections. Lung transplant recipients are closely monitored for a variety of infections given their immunocompromised state, thus providing a unique population with which to study the effect of COVID-19 NPI on these other infection types.…”

Reduced Community-acquired Respiratory Virus Infection, but Not Non–virus Infection, in Lung Transplant Recipients During Government-mandated Public Health Measures to Reduce COVID-19 Transmission

L ung transplantation is a recognized treatment for end-stage lung disease, but outcomes are limited by the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, of which bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome is the most common form of chronic rejection. Community-acquired viral (CARV) infections have been linked to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome development and worse outcomes following lung transplantation. 1 Lung transplant recipients remain at higher risk of CARV infection than the general population despite routine masking in public and hand hygiene, practices

“…Only 1 case of cRSV-ARI was detected in our study during season 2, when RSV virtually disappeared. This disappearance was due to nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to disruptions in the transmission and seasonality of respiratory viruses, including RSV [ 28–30 ]. These disruptions ultimately led to off-season RSV epidemics after lifting of nonpharmaceutical interventions, as documented in several countries in 2021–2022 mostly in children [ 31–33 ] but also in adults [ 34 ].…”

Lay Summary Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes respiratory illnesses, which can lead to serious complications in older adults. We estimated how common infections due to RSV are in adults living in the community or long-term care facilities. For 2 years, we followed approximately 2000 adults 50 years and older in Europe and the United States. Between October 2019 and March 2020, about 2 in 100 adults in this study had RSV infections; of these, fewer than one fifth had complications and there were no hospitalizations or deaths. Other viruses were present for less than one fifth of RSV infections. Between October 2020 and June 2021, during COVID-19 restrictions, we detected RSV infection in one adult, living in a long-term care facility, with no complications. RSV causes respiratory disease among adults 50 years and older and therefore programs to prevent RSV infection are needed in this age group.
