Respiratory viral co-infections among SARS-CoV-2 cases confirmed by virome capture sequencing

Abstract Accumulating evidence supports the high prevalence of co-infections among Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients, and their potential to worsen the clinical outcome of COVID-19. However, there are few data on Southern Hemisphere populations, and most studies t...
