"The central idea of the manuscript is to describe the possibility that patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection present a bacterial or viral associated infectious process, so that treating medical personnel should be attentive to the clinical evolution of the patient with infection confirmed, and in case of suspicion or clinical deterioration, the patient should be studied in search of other pathogens that may be causing co-infection ”, explains the doctor Jorge Andrés Sánchez Duque
