BACKGROUND There was a growing presumption that coinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and another viral respiratory illness was nonexistent. Although there has been an increasing number of coinfection cases since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there is still a significant lack of information regarding the symptomatology, treatment, prognosis, and reasoning behind coinfection. This raises concern of the possibility of misdiagnosis or delay in treatment. CASE REPORT This case report discusses a coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A in a 32-year-old man to highlight that these viruses can coexist within the same patient. This patient unfortunately died of persistent respiratory failure after several days in the ICU. CONCLUSIONS Coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A can occur and lead to a poor prognosis.
人们越来越倾向于认为不存在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）与另一种病毒性呼吸道疾病的合并感染情况。尽管自SARS-CoV-2大流行开始以来合并感染病例不断增加，但关于合并感染的症状、治疗、预后及原因仍存在大量信息缺失。这引发了对误诊或治疗延误可能性的担忧。病例报告：本病例报告讨论了一名32岁男性感染SARS-CoV-2和甲型流感的合并感染情况，以强调这些病毒可在同一患者体内共存。该患者在重症监护病房（ICU）数天后不幸死于持续性呼吸衰竭。结论：SARS-CoV-2和甲型流感可发生合并感染并导致不良预后。
