Entry title:

Other respiratory viruses

Last updated on Wednesday, 24 December 2025 at 02:00pm

Other common respiratory viruses include adenovirus, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), parainfluenza and rhinovirus.

The healthcare data we have for other respiratory viruses comes from a sentinel surveillance system (a data collection method used to monitor trends). This means the healthcare data is not a count of every person being treated for the respiratory virus in hospital. Find out more about data collection for other respiratory viruses.

During the autumn and the winter we update metrics for other respiratory viruses every Thursday at 4pm.
