The article presents the results of a study of the circulation of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in the epidemic season of 2022-2023 in the Almaty and Almaty region population. For this purpose, 600 nasopharyngeal swabs obtained from sick people with acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonia diagnoses were studied by using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The results obtained in the polymerase chain reaction indicate circulation among the population in the epidemic season of 2022-2023 influenza A viruses (23.00% of the total number of specimens) and B (0.83%) with a predominance of subtype A(H1N1)pdm09 (5.50%). In addition, the genetic material of ARVI pathogens: adenovirus (2.67%), respiratory syncytial virus (2.00%), rhinovirus (1.33%), metapneumovirus (0.67%), bocavirus (0.67%), parainfluenza virus type I/III (0.50%), and coronavirus (0.17%) was found.
Thus, the results obtained during the study of the epidemic situation for influenza and SARS confirm the circulation among the residents of Almaty and the Almaty region in the epidemic season of 2022-2023 of mixed etiology ARVI pathogens.
