Abstract
Introduction
The four endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV-OC43, -NL63, -HKU1, and - 229E) are common respiratory pathogens. Studies on HCoV epidemiology in Germany are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the epidemiology and clinical significance of HCoV-infections in adult patients over 11 seasons at a tertiary care hospital in Germany.
