COVID-19 croup: Solitary infections and a coinfection case – author reply to a letter

Thank you for sharing your institution's recent data and experience with a case of croup who was seen in your emergency department (ED), admitted on oxygen after dexamethasone treatment, and was found to be co-infected with both SARS-CoV-2 and enterovirus. I am glad your patient had a swift recovery. In our three reported cases of croup associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection over a two-month period, all three patients were positive for a single virus and had a negative viral panel (Biofire ® FilmArray Respiratory Panel) (CR) for nineteen other viruses, including the ones most commonly associated with croup [1].
