Abstract

Co-infections with SARS-CoV-2 remain relatively rare and there is limited published data on the consequences of these events. We present the case of a 26-year-old man with SARS-CoV-2 and human coronavirus OC43 who had a severe infection resulting in prolonged hospitalization. Consideration of co-infections should be considered in high-risk patients.<br />Competing Interests: R Somayaji received clinical research grants from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Snyder Institute for Chronic Disease, and the Department of Surgery at the University of Calgary, received educational payments from Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and was a DSMB member on the Oncovir Phase II trial and an advisory board member for Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The other authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (© Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada (AMMI Canada), 2023.)
