Özet

Introduction: Coronaviruses are the agents of viral respiratory infections and cause severe respiratory infections, especially in the elderly, those with chronic disease and immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to determine the positive and common types of Coronaviridae family in patients admitted to our hospital in the four-year period before the COVID-19 pandemic (2016-2020) and to investigate the distribution of coronavirus positivity by age groups, months, seasons and years.
