Abstract

The issue of bacterial coinfection and superinfections in patients managed for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been a matter of concern and debate since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. Incidence, type and etiology of co-infections and super-infections in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 have been reported in several studies, and most of published data have been summarized in two large systematic reviews [2, 3]. The prevalence of superinfections was highest in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) reaching up to 41% [2, 3].
