Abstract

Вackground. Acute respiratory diseases are the most common among all infectious diseases, both in the world and in the Russian Federation. Prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and timely detection of the viral etiology of these diseases is an urgent public health task. Purpose of the study. The aim of this work was to identify the viral etiology of acute respiratory diseases in children's age group patients who sought medical help with signs of upper respiratory tract infections at the Berdsk Central City Hospital. Patient Characterization and Research Methods. The target group of the study was patients aged 0-17 years in the acute stage of upper respiratory tract disease who presented with signs of infection. Identification of the genetic material of respiratory viruses was carried out by real-time PCR using the AmpliSens “ARVI - FL” diagnostic kits (FBIS Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Russia). Methods of statistical analysis. Microsoft Office Excel program was used. Results and conclusion. The result of the research revealed that 81.33% of samples of biological material received a positive result for at least one infection. Identified: RNA viruses SARS-CoV-2, influenza A (Influenza virus A), influenza B (Influenza virus B), respiratory syncytial virus (hRSv), metapneumovirus (hMPV), parainfluenza types 1, 2, 4 (hPiv), RNA coronaviruses species OC43, E229, NL63, HKUI (HCoV), RNA of rhinoviruses (hr v), DNA of adenoviruses of groups B, C and E (HAdV), DNA of bokavirus (HBoV), and in 12.59% of cases of the number of positive samples, the presence of coinfections is observed. The results of this work are aimed at verifying the etiological factor of ARVI and strengthening the prevention of the spread of upper respiratory tract infections in the population.
