Specifically, we evaluated the association of syndromes compatible with respiratory infections in ambulance dispatches with trends in detections of influenza A, influenza B, RSV, rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). Calls with triage codes that were potentially compatible with respiratory infections (Table 1) year, and hMPV (4%) and influenza A (1%) mainly during the winter peaks. Because of its ability to capture variations in respiratory virus circulation, ambulance dispatch data might be useful to signal events and to monitor the respiratory season as a whole, specifically reflecting severe infections and thus complementing existing surveillance systems.
