Resurgence of common respiratory viruses in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)-A prospective multicenter study

BACKGROUND: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major global cause of death and hospitalization. Bacteria or community-acquired viruses (CARVs) cause CAP. COVID-19 associated restrictions effectively reduced the circulation of CARVs. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the proportion of CARVs in adult patients with CAP from mid-2020 to mid-2023.
