This report summarises respiratory virus PCR panel results for specimens submitted for testing to the private pathology practices that form part of the NPG from April to June 2022. A variety of multiplex PCR panels are used across NPG-associated practices. For data analysis, all parainfluenza virus types (PIV 1 – 4), all seasonal human coronaviruses (hCoV-OC43, hCoV-HKU1, hCoV-229E, and hCoV-NL63), and rhinovirus, parechovirus and enterovirus were combined. The graphs below represent the viruses detected as the percentage positive per epidemiological week.
