dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Respiratory infections are one of the world's most common infectious diseases. Following the species, numbers, and seasonal distribution of acute respiratory agents is important for the protection of public health. Our study aimed to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the circulation and seasonal distribution of non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory tract agents and research on non-SARS-CoV-2 agents. Methods: The results of the Multiplex PCR respiratory panel of 3702 nasopharyngeal swab samples sent between January 2018 and December 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Scientific articles on acute respiratory infections between 2010 and 2021 from Turkey were analyzed in Scopus for bibliometric analysis. Results: 1.382 pathogens were detected. During the pandemic, the number of non-SARS-CoV-2 pathogens was found to be statistically significantly lower than before the pandemic. It was determined that while the most frequent agent before the pandemic was the Adenovirus, the most frequent agent was the RSV -A during the pandemic. Our network analysis of keywords indicated that academic interest in 2020-21 was directed toward COVID-19, which coincides with the pandemic period. Conclusions: Our study determined the fact that the incidence, species, and seasonal distribution of non-SARSCOV-2 respiratory agents changed after the onset of the pandemic. Increasing the identification and following -up of these pathogens in health organizations and also presenting these data to literature and sharing with academics is important. We are of the opinion that the results of our study shall shed light on the epidemiology of changing respiratory infections and the prevention and following -up of future health problems.en_US
