Retrospectively, antiviral should not have been associated with antibiotics during abscess episode, as transcriptomic analysis reported no viral reactivation.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS.
