For instance, one study showed that 15.3% of ambulatory patients with influenza-like illness had two viruses detected, 6 and another found that in 28.2% of children with community-acquired pneumonia, the illness was due to mixed viral-bacterial infections. 7 Others also previously described respiratory viral 8, 9 and bacterial co-infections 10, 11 in various settings, although most focus on specific pathogen combinations, especially of the synergism between influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. Mean proportion for dual infections with nasal symptoms lay in between at 0.748, statistically different from both viral (P = 0.002) and bacterial (P < 0.001) mono-pathogen levels. ./cache/cord-299790-vciposnk.txt ./txt/cord-299790-vciposnk.txt
