Abstract
From December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection has spread rapidly, leading to a global pandemic. Little is known about possible relationships between SARS‐CoV‐2 and other viruses in the respiratory system affecting patient prognosis and outcomes. This study aims to characterize respiratory virome profiles in association with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and disease severity, through the analysis in 89 nasopharyngeal swabs collected in a patient's cohort from the Campania region (Southern Italy). Results show coinfections with viral species belonging to Coronaviridae, Retroviridae, Herpesviridae, Poxviridae, Pneumoviridae, Pandoraviridae, and Anelloviridae families and only 2% of the cases (2/89) identified respiratory viruses.
