Almost a century after the devastating pandemic of the Spanish flu, humankind is facing the relatively comparable global outbreak of COVID-19. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 with an unprecedented transmission pattern. In the face of the recent repercussions of COVID-19, many have argued that the clinical experience with influenza through the last century may have tremendous implications in the containment of this newly emerged viral disease. During the last 2 years, from the emergence of COVID-19, tremendous advances have been made in diagnosing and treating coinfections. Several approved vaccines are available now for the primary prevention of COVID-19 and specific treatments exist to alleviate symptoms. The present review article aims to discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus coinfection while delivering a bioinformatics-based insight into this subject matter.
