Coinfections have a potential role in increased morbidity and mortality rates during pandemics. Our investigation is aimed at evaluating the viral coinfection prevalence in COVID-19 patients. Rapid diagnostic tests are tools with a paramount impact both on improving patient care. Particularly in the case of respiratory infections, it is of great importance to quickly confirm/exclude the involvement of pathogens. The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with changes in respiratory virus infections worldwide, which have differed between virus types. In this paper, we systematically searched the percentage of coinfection of various respiratory viruses in COVID-19-positive samples. We included patients of all ages, in all settings. The main outcome was the proportion of patients with viral coinfection. By describing the differences in changes between viral species across different geographies over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may better understand the complex factors involved in the community cocirculation of respiratory viruses.
