Fig 1 — A. Time course relating to severe respiratory infections during the season 2017 – 2020 (cumulative hospitalized patients per day): the highest activity was found in 2018 with up to 78 patients / day. B. Time course of infections related to RSV, influenza A, influenza B and SARS-CoV-2. The highest activity was found during the second wave of the corona pandemic with up to 55 patients / day and during the season 2018 with a high influenza activity. The data show that the infection waves with RSV and Influenza usually overlap: peaks for RSV were found between week 7 and 9 / for Influenza A between 6 and 9 / for Influenza B beween 8 and 9. C. The stack bars show the distribution of PCR detection rates for RSV (black bar) compared to the other virus detections (Influenza A; deep gray bar; Influenza B: gray bar; SARS-CoV-2: hatched bar). The total number of tests / season is given above the respective year bar in the graph.
