Popis: Background: The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the etiology of non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia remains to be identified. We investigated the evolution of non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia in hospitalized patients before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study. Patients who came to West China Hospital of Sichuan University diagnosed with non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021, were included and divided into pre- and post-COVID-19 groups according to the date of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. The results of 13 viral nucleic acid tests were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 5937 patients (3954 in the pre-COVID-19 group and 1983 in the post-COVID-19 group) were analyzed. Compared with the pre-COVID-19 group, the proportion of patients tested for respiratory non-COVID-19 viral nucleic acid was significantly increased in the post-COVID-19 group (14.78% vs. 22.79%, P
