    Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) significantly contribute to global morbidity and mortality, with seasonal influenza causing up to 600,000 deaths annually.

  • 2

    The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the epidemiological patterns of respiratory infections, affecting the dynamics of co-circulating pathogens.

  • 3

    Yunnan Province's complex geography and climate may influence respiratory pathogen infection patterns, but research on ARIs in this region is limited.

  • 4

    This study analyzed ARI pathogen detection from patients in Yunnan between December 2023 and February 2025 to identify epidemic and co-infection patterns.

  • 5

    Multiplex real-time PCR technology was employed to detect 28 common respiratory pathogens, ensuring accurate and timely diagnosis for ARI patients.
