Bacterial coinfections which are infections present early in the course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections before hospitalizations during the 2020 pandemic are rare. A 66-year-old male presented to the ED with a two-week history of subjective fever, dyspnea, and productive cough. He was diagnosed with coinfection of severe COVID-19 pneumonia and pneumococcal infection. He recovered from both infections and was discharged home. This report presents the features of this case and reviews the literature of similar cases of coinfection of COVID-19 pneumonia and pneumococcal infection.
