Pneumococcal lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), as detected by positive UAD, occurred in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Moreover, pneumococcal LRTI was more common in those with more serious COVID-19 outcomes. Future studies should assess how pneumococcus and SARS-CoV-2 interact to influence COVID-19 severity in hospitalized patients.
