Nosocomial Respiratory Virus Infection

Hospital-acquired Viral Respiratory Infections (HAVRI) are associated with substantial burden on health care systems. The prevention and control of these viral infections rely on multiple measures such as hand hygiene or wearing mask. However, vaccination remains the major preventive measure. To date, data at French national level are insufficient to describe the epidemiology of these infections, including their burden, and the potential protection of patients if vaccination coverage of health care professionals/patients is satisfactory. In addition, better understanding of the clinical characteristics of HAVRI will make it possible to identify potential sources of transmission as soon as possible and to implement appropriate hygiene measures. We will set up a hospital-based prospective multicenter study in Bordeaux, Paris-Bichat, Dijon and Lyon, involving four inclusion services (geriatrics, internal medicine and transplantation) per hospital. The main objective of this study is to calculate the incidence rate of hospital-acquired infections for three respiratory viruses; influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and syncytial respiratory virus (SRV), referred to as HARVI, in participating services. Volunteered health care professionals or hospitalized patients presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) at admission or during their stay in the participating centers will be eligible to be enrolled during the two inclusion periods: (mid-October 2024 to mid-April 2025 and mid-October 2025 to…
