CONCLUSIONS: Despite frequent prescription of broad-spectrum empirical antimicrobials in patients with coronavirus associated respiratory infections, there is a paucity of data to support the association with respiratory bacterial/fungal co-infection. In terms of antimicrobial prescribing bacterial/fungal co-infection of the respiratory tract; some patients presenting to hospital with SARS-COV-2 infection have a clinical phenotype that is not dissimilar from atypical bacterial pneumonia. [13] We performed a review of the medical literature to explore commonly reported bacterial/fungal co-infections in patients admitted to hospital with coronavirus lower respiratory tract infections. It is not clear whether these patients were in critical or nonSelection of empiric antimicrobial therapy for respiratory bacterial/fungal co-infection and recommendations for duration of treatment require several considerations.	./cache/cord-307770-1igydu3y.txt	./txt/cord-307770-1igydu3y.txt
