Viral-bacterial Coinfection – a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viral bacterial coinfections are encountered in about one third of community aquired pneumonia cases in children. There is however very difficult to differentiate pneumonias ́ etiology using clinical, laboratory and radiological examination. We present a case of viral-bacterial coinfections and the challegences that this case imposed in both diagnostic and treatment decision. We shall also review the literature that addresses this issue.

Viral coinfection is shaped by bacterial ecology and virus-virus interactions across diverse microbial taxa and environments
11 Viral coinfection is a common across taxa and environments. Coinfection can enable 12 genetic exchange, alter the dynamics of infections, and change the course of viral 13 evolution. Despite the importance of coinfection to viral ecology and evolution, the 14 factors that influence the frequency and extent of viral coinfection remain largely 15 unexplored. Here I employ an extensive data set...
متن کاملAcute Hepatitis B and Acute HIV Coinfection in an Adult Patient: A Rare Case Report
Acute HIV and acute hepatitis B coinfection is extremely rare. A 23-year-old homosexual man was admitted to our hospital with 5-day history of fever, malaise, and back pain with initial laboratory values showing severe transaminitis. The clinical picture was initially suggestive of acute viral hepatitis, which on further testing revealed acute hepatitis B and acute HIV coinfection. Although the...
متن کاملDengue Viral Myositis Complicated with Rhabdomyolysis and Superinfection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Dengue is endemic in Sri Lanka and the physician should be aware of different and unusual presentation of the illness. Rhabdomyolysis is a well-known complication following many viral and bacterial infections; however, only a few cases have been reported with dengue viral infections. Further occurrence of coinfection by dengue and bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MR...
متن کاملTRAIL+ monocytes and monocyte-related cells cause lung damage and thereby increase susceptibility to influenza–Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfection
Streptococcus pneumoniae coinfection is a major cause of influenza-associated mortality; however, the mechanisms underlying pathogenesis or protection remain unclear. Using a clinically relevant mouse model, we identify immune-mediated damage early during coinfection as a new mechanism causing susceptibility. Coinfected CCR2(-/-) mice lacking monocytes and monocyte-derived cells control bacteri...
متن کاملGenome-wide fitness profiling reveals adaptations required by Haemophilus in coinfection with influenza A virus in the murine lung.
Bacterial coinfection represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in epidemics of influenza A virus (IAV). The bacterium Haemophilus influenzae typically colonizes the human upper respiratory tract without causing disease, and yet in individuals infected with IAV, it can cause debilitating or lethal secondary pneumonia. Studies in murine models have detected immune components involved i...
