High Prevalence of Respiratory Co-Infections and Risk Factors in COVID-19 Patients at Hospital Admission During an Epidemic Peak in China
X. Zhu, F. Tian, et al.
This intriguing study evaluated 716 COVID-19 patients in a Chinese hospital, revealing a staggering 76.82% co-infection rate with 11 pathogens, predominantly bacterial. The most common culprits were *Streptococcus pneumoniae* and *Haemophilus influenzae*. With insights on mortality risk factors such as dyspnea and *Mycoplasma pneumoniae* co-infection, researchers stress the importance of better antibiotic management. This vital work was conducted by Xiaoying Zhu, Fengqin Tian, Yulei Li, Qunfeng Lu, Qinqin Long, Xidai Long, and Demin Cao.
