This study aimed at evaluating the proportion of SARI/ARDS cases and deaths due to A(H1N1)pdm09 infection and assessing the impact of other respiratory pathogens during pandemic and postpandemic period (2009) (2010) (2011) in northern Italy as well as searching for unknown viruses in those cases for which diagnosis remained negative. During pandemic and postpandemic period, several pathogens cocirculated and were associated to severe respiratory infections; however, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus had the greatest impact (58.3%) in our SARI/ARDS series. ./cache/cord-344061-gsl84nv6.txt ./txt/cord-344061-gsl84nv6.txt
