These measures may also have affected the expansion of other infectious diseases like respiratory tract infections (RTI) and gastro\u2010intestinal infections (GII). Therefore, we aimed to investigate non\u2010COVID\u201019 related RTI and GII during the COVID\u201019 pandemic. Patients with a diagnosis of an acute RTI (different locations) or acute GII documented anonymously in 994 general practitioner (GP) or 192 pediatrician practices in Germany were included. We compared the prevalence of acute RTI and GII between April 2019\u2013March 2020 and April 2020\u2013March 2021.\u00a0In GP practices, 715,440 patients were diagnosed with RTI or GII in the nonpandemic period versus 468,753 in the pandemic period; the same trend was observed by pediatricians (275,033 vs. 165,127). By GPs, the strongest decrease was observed for the diagnosis of influenza (\u221271%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), followed by acute laryngitis (\u221264%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), acute lower respiratory infections (bronchitis) (\u221262%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and intestinal infections (\u221240%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In contrast, the relatively rare viral pneumonia strongly increased by 229% (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In pediatrician practices, there was a strong decrease in infection diagnoses, especially influenza (\u221290%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), pneumonia (\u221273%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 viral; \u221276%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 other pneumonias), and acute sinusitis (\u221266%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). No increase was observed for viral pneumonia in children.\u00a0The considerable limitations concerning social life implemented during the COVID\u201019 pandemic to combat the spread of SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 also resulted in an inadvertent but welcome reduction in other non\u2010Covid\u201019 respiratory tract and gastro\u2010intestinal infections.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.27321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,7]],"date-time":"2021-09-07T09:02:01Z","timestamp":1631005321000},"page":"298-302","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Fewer non\u2010COVID\u201019 respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections during the COVID\u201019 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Christian","family":"Tanislav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatrics and Neurology Diakonie Hospital Jung Stilling Siegen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2124-7227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karel","family":"Kostev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology IQVIA Frankfurt am Main Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20503121211022973"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(20)30457-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MCP.0000000000000047"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s100960050419"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-021-11150-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000513812"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5414\/CP203320"},{"issue":"33","key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"545","article-title":"AKTIN Emergency Department Registry; German Forum of University Emergency Departments (FUN) in the Society of University Clinics of Germany E.V. medical emergencies during the COVID\u201019 pandemic","volume":"117","author":"Slagman A","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dtsch Arztebl Int"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2020.3982"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s1678-9946202163053"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0000000000003195"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2021.676611"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.35772\/ghm.2021.01066"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2021.07.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpvm.IJPVM_469_20"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00705-021-05149-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.684032"}],"container-title":["Journal of Medical Virology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jmv.27321","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/jmv.27321","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/jmv.27321","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T13:41:01Z","timestamp":1692970861000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/jmv.27321"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,12]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/jmv.27321"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/jmv.27321","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0146-6615","1096-9071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0146-6615","type":"print"},{"value":"1096-9071","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,12]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2021-08-02","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-09-03","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-09-12","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
