Prevalence and Predictors of Concomitant Bacterial Infections in Patients With Respiratory Viruses in Ontario: A Cohort Study
A higher prevalence and risk of concomitant bacterial infection were found in FLUA, FLUB, and RSV as compared with SARS-CoV-2, although this is largely driven by coinfections. Ongoing surveillance efforts are needed to compare the risk of concomitant infections during periods when these viruses are cocirculating.
