Abstract
A case of acute respiratory distress syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A co-infection and a mini-review of the literature is reported. Even in COVID-19 epidemics, the early identification of concurrent respiratory pathogens is important to improve etiological diagnosis, preventive measures and patients' clinical management and outcome.
