Likewise, pneumococcal coinfection is associated with poorer outcomes in viral respiratory infection. However, there are limited data describing the frequency of pneumococcus and SARS-CoV-2 coinfection and the role of coinfection in influencing COVID-19 severity. We, therefore, investigated the detection of pneumococcus in COVID-19 inpatients during the early pandemic period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included patients aged 18 years and older, admitted to the Yale-New Haven Hospital who were symptomatic for respiratory infection and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during March\u2013August 2020. Patients were tested for pneumococcus through culture-enrichment of saliva followed by RT-qPCR (to identify carriage) and serotype-specific urine antigen detection (UAD) assays (to identify presumed lower respiratory tract pneumococcal disease).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 148 subjects, the median age was 65 years; 54.7% were male; 50.7% had an ICU stay; 64.9% received antibiotics; and 14.9% died while admitted. Pneumococcal carriage was detected in 3\/96 (3.1%) individuals tested by saliva RT-qPCR. Additionally, pneumococcus was detected in 14\/127 (11.0%) individuals tested by UAD, and more commonly in severe than moderate COVID-19 [OR: 2.20; 95% CI: (0.72, 7.48)]; however, the numbers were small with a high degree of uncertainty. None of the UAD-positive individuals died.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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.
