Rates of coinfection with other respiratory pathogens in patients positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) 2020-07-02 .txt text/plain 1106 67 49 Initial testing protocols from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for COVID-19 for detection in patients with possible infection recommend that samples also should be first sent for influenza viruses along with respiratory panels for detection of parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, human rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. 1 The problem with testing for coinfections in suspected patients is that the presence of a positive upper respiratory pathogen nucleic acid detection (RPNA) test for viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 may suggest to the clinicians alternate explanations for the patients' symptoms. This study is a retrospective analysis of data from an academic medical center with 2 hospitals and 2 urgent care centers in San Diego, California, during the initial 2 weeks of SARS-CoV-2 testing, March 10, 2020 Rates of coinfection with other respiratory pathogens in patients positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ./cache/cord-355672-egjdy7o0.txt ./txt/cord-355672-egjdy7o0.txt
