Abstract
Cases of co-infection and secondary infection emerging during the current Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic are a major public health concern. Such cases may result from immunodysregulation induced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Pandemic preparedness must include identification of disease natural history and common secondary infections to implement clinical solutions.
Keywords: COVID-19 [Supplementary Concept]; Co-infection; Immunosuppression; Lymphopenia; Superinfection.
