Prevalence and associated outcomes of co-infection between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Since the first case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was reported in late 2019, the ensuing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly across the globe, causing an unprecedented health burden in many countries. As of June 7, 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused 767.7 million infections and 6.9 million deaths worldwide [1]. Although the World Health Organization declared the end of the pandemic emergency on May 5, 2023 [2], endemics remain possible as the virus continues to undergo genetic mutations [3].
