Clinicians should consider multiplex testing for coinfections in respiratory illness; leaves open questions on outcomes in immunosuppressed patients.
Observational (n=6,014)

Coronaviruses and rhinoviruses/enteroviruses are highly prevalent in respiratory samples, particularly in immunosuppressed patients, and frequently occur as co-infections.
Lepiller et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Respiratory viral infections (n=6,014). Respiratory virus infection was evaluated on Detection frequencies of 14 respiratory viruses. Human rhinovirus/enterovirus and coronavirus were detected in 48.81% and 11.74% of infected respiratory samples, respectively, with nearly 50% of HCoV infections occurring as coinfections.
