Abstract

The outbreak of respiratory diseases, such as COVID-19 and influenza, has drawn global attention. However, it remains unclear whether the risk of influenza A infection may be affected by the history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study, we conducted a test-negative case-control study, and utilized a logistic regression model to analyze the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A infections. Among 258 eligible patient samples with influenza-like illness (ILI), we did not detect a statistically significant association between the history of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of influenza A infection. These findings might indicate that antibodies against COVID-19 acquired through vaccination or natural immunity have not protected against influenza.

Keywords: COVID-19; China; Influenza A; test-negative study.
