SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, or adenoviruses

SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne respiratory viruses in outdoor aerosols in three Swiss cities before and during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic

“…8–9), the rare cases of SARS-CoV-2 coinfected with HCoV-229E have been reported ( Boschiero et al, 2022 , Lau et al, 2021 ), suggesting similar rare coinfections between SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses should not be overlooked. After all, the possibility of the emergence of a more virulent and contagious variant of either SARS-CoV-2 or other virus through this way should not be neglected, in addition to the concern that the coinfections with other viruses such as adenovirus and influenza may enhance SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, aggravate the symptoms and even increase mortality( Bai et al, 2021 , Guan et al, 2021 , Swets et al, 2022 ). Clearly, monitoring these viruses in air may give us an early warning.…”

Covid-19 is a leading cause of death in children and young people ages 0-19 years in the United States

“…The criteria for determining Covid-19 deaths also vary across the US. Finally, some of the cause of death categories vary in specificity, for example, the category of deaths from “influenza and pneumonia” combines a variety of causes, to which SARS-CoV-2 would be a contributing factor 6 . Relatedly, we only consider Covid-19 as an underlying (and not contributing) cause of death, but Covid-19 amplifies the severe impacts of other diseases.…”
