SARS‑CoV‑2 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae co‑infection during the early COVID‑19 pandemic: diagnostic bias leading to delayed recognition

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Co‑infections during the early COVID‑19 pandemic were frequently under‑recognized due to diagnostic bias, limited availability of pathogen‑specific testing, and the overwhelming clinical focus on SARS‑CoV‑2. We report a case of co‑infection with SARS‑CoV‑2 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a previously healthy 35‑year‑old man who presented with febrile respiratory illness in April 2020. Chest computed tomography demons...
