When two for the price of one isn’t a bargain: Estimating prevalence and microbiology of bacterial co-infections in patients with COVID-19	2020-09-09		.txt	text/plain	873	40	32	Similarly, in children with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, multiple studies have demonstrated rates of superimposed bacterial pneumonia in excess of 30%, and this has been associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation (3) . The overall low prevalence of bacterial infection in patients with COVID-19 was similar as that noted in another recent meta-analysis (7%) (5) and rapid review (8%) (6) of the literature, though there is significant overlap in the studies included in these reviews. Despite the lower prevalence of bacterial co-infection in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection relative to other viral respiratory pathogens, many patients with COVID-19 (71%) were treated with antibiotics. Yet while the available data is limited, the emerging picture is one of lower bacterial co-infection rates in patients with COVID-19 relative to pandemic influenza.
