To the Editor, We have recently read the article by Chaung et al 1 describing a case of SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-HKU1 coinfection. The HCoV-HKU1 is also a member of the Betacoronavirus. In addition to other coronaviruses in different regions of the world, there is an increasing number of reports of coinfections in SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Then, we would like to take the opportunity to discuss some of them, 1-10 as there are not yet reviews on this emerging issue of COVID-19. Currently, the evidence suggests that the coinfection rates between SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens would be higher than initially expected, which represents a challenge for the diagnosis and treatment. 1-4 Kim et al 2 described 1217 specimens of patients with respiratory symptoms; 116 of the 1217 samples (9.5%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2, and 318 (26.1%) were positive for a different microorganism.
