Objective: Even though mixed bacterial-viral infections are very common in other respiratory tract conditions such as acute otitis media and pneumonia, concurrent GAS-influenza virus pharyngotonsillitis is generally not considered. We share our experience of mixed infection of GAS and influenza in children with this report. Methods: The rapid antigen test for streptococcus group A (Quidel, USA) was applied to the throat samples. The throat samples were also cultured in sheep blood agar at 37 degrees C for 24 h incubation. The rapid antigen test for influenza (Quidel, USA) was applied to the nasal samples at the same time. Results: B . . .etween January and April 2016, among 541 children, 11 cases had concurrent influenza and GAS; 3 cases with influenza B and 8 cases with influenza A. Conclusion: There is a number of data alerting the clinicians about bacterial coinfections because of the rapid progression to severe illnesses. (C) 2017 The Egyptian Pediatric Association.
