Description
When a virus infects the lungs, bacteria sometimes join in, and those infections can change how sick a patient gets. Eight authors ran a cohort study in Ontario. It covered influenza A and B and respiratory syncytial virus from 2017 to 2019, and SARS-CoV-2 from 2020 to 2021. They named the bacteria found with them and split cases into coinfections near the diagnosis and later secondary infections.
Of 885,004 cases, 4,230 had a bacterial infection, zero point five percent of the total. The share was highest for influenza B, at four point seven percent, and lowest for COVID-19, at zero point three percent. The most common bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Adjusted odds of infection were higher for flu types and RSV than for SARS-CoV-2. Coinfections drove most of that gap. The authors call for ongoing surveillance while these viruses circulate together.
