Viral epidemiology and SARS‐CoV‐2 co‐infections with other respiratory viruses during the first COVID‐19 wave in Paris, France

OBJECTIVES: Our work assessed the prevalence of co‐infections in patients with SARS‐CoV‐2. METHODS: All patients hospitalized in a Parisian hospital during the first wave of COVID‐19 were tested by multiplex PCR if they presented ILI symptoms. RESULTS: A total of 806 patients (21%) were positive for...

Sumario:OBJECTIVES: Our work assessed the prevalence of co‐infections in patients with SARS‐CoV‐2. METHODS: All patients hospitalized in a Parisian hospital during the first wave of COVID‐19 were tested by multiplex PCR if they presented ILI symptoms. RESULTS: A total of 806 patients (21%) were positive for SARS‐CoV‐2, 755 (20%) were positive for other respiratory viruses. Among the SARS‐CoV‐2‐positive patients, 49 (6%) had viral co‐infections. They presented similar age, symptoms, except for fever (P = .013) and headaches (P = .048), than single SARS‐CoV‐2 infections. CONCLUSIONS: SARS‐CoV‐2‐infected patients presenting viral co‐infections had similar clinical characteristics and prognosis than patients solely infected with SARS‐CoV‐2.
