Figure 1. RSV seasonality in
Beijing.
The average percentage of RSV-positive cases per month among the
tested cases in Beijing from March 2015 to February 2019. Gray bars
denote the tested cases per month, blue bars denote the RSV-positive
cases per month, and the brown line denotes the average percentage of
RSV-positive cases per month among the tested cases. B) Average
proportion of RSV-positive cases per month among the total
RSV-positive cases in Beijing from March 2015 to February 2019. C) RSV
detection rate by month in Beijing from March 2015 to February 2019.
The bars represent the RSV detection rate per month. Blue denotes RSV
group A, orange denotes RSV group B, gray denotes untyped RSV. RSV,
respiratory syncytial virus.
Figure 2. Distribution of RSV infections by age group in Beijing
from March 2015 to February 2019. A) RSV detection rate by age group.
The bar represents the RSV detection rate per age group. Blue denotes
RSV group A, orange denotes RSV group B, and gray denotes untyped RSV.
RSV, respiratory syncytial virus. B) Proportion of RSV-positive cases
per new-age group (9 age groups were combined into 4 new-age groups).
Figure 3. RSV
detection rates andproportions of RSV subgroups
by age group and illness
severity in Beijing from March 2015 to February 2019. A) RSV detection
rate by age group and illness severity. The bar represents RSV detection
rate per age group and illness severity. B) Proportion of RSV groups per
age group and illness severity. Blue denotes RSV group A, orange denotes
RSV group B, and gray denotes untyped RSV. RSV, respiratory syncytial
virus. AURTI, Acute upper respiratory tract infection. NSCAP, non-severe
community-acquired pneumonia. SCAP, severe community-acquired pneumonia.
Figure 4. Co-existing pathogens identified in RSV-positive
cases. The blue bars denote the positive cases of co-existing pathogens
identified in RSV-positive cases. The orange line denotes the positive
rates of co-existing pathogens identified in RSV-positive case (the data
are represented in the second Y-axis). Here, AdV denotes adenovirus, CoV
coronavirus, Flu influenza A or B virus, HMPV human metapneumovirus, HRV
human rhinovirus, PIV parainfluenza virus, RSV respiratory syncytial
virus, HBoV human bocavirus, EV enterovirus, MP M. pneumoniae ,
and CP Chlamydophila pneumoniae .
