Abstract

Objective: Coinfections of influenza virus with bacterial infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among high-risk groups like young children and the elderly. This study aimed at the comparison between clinical and laboratory findings of upper respiratory tract infections caused by group A streptococcus and influenza virus type A and B to determine the frequency of coinfection.Methods: A total of 1884 patients who applied to the pediatrics clinic of our tertiary referral hospital with complaints of upper respiratory tract infections between January 2019 and January 2020 which were performed the antigen group a streptococcus and influenza A and B rapid tests were included to our study.
