Respiratory infections account for millions of hospital admissions worldwide. The aetiology of respiratory infections can be attributed to a diverse range of pathogens including viruses, bacteria and fungi. SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2)-negative specimens from Wattansoppeng city, South Sulawesi, were analysed to study the spectrum of respiratory viruses. Samples were screened for influenza virus, enterovirus, Paramyxoviridae, Nipah virus, Coronaviridae and Pneumoviridae. Of 210 specimens, 19 were positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-A, RSV-B, human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV-1), HPIV-2, human rhinovirus (HRV)-A, HRV-B, HRV-C, human metapneumovirus (HMPV), influenza A virus (IAV) and coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6). Influenza virus was of seasonal H3N2 subtype. The HMPVs were of genotypes B1 and A2a, while one RSV-A was of the ON-1 genotype. The viruses mostly affected children with unknown severity.
