Description
Five authors compare three winter viruses in hospital patients in this 2023 study from Germany. In the 2022 to 2023 season, flu and respiratory syncytial virus returned in force while the COVID-19 virus still spread, so the team set the three side by side.
The study covered 906 patients at one large hospital who tested positive for one of the viruses. The COVID-19 virus was the most common, then RSV, then flu A, with flu B and mixed infections rare. In adults the groups differed in age, and lung diseases like asthma were most common in the RSV group. Shares sent to intensive care and shares who died were broadly alike across the groups.
