Total samples include samples collected during weeks where both pathogens of interest were circulating. Pearson χ2 and Fisher exact tests were used to compare the observed and expected distributions of coinfections.

Abbreviations: HCoV, human coronaviruses (OC43, 229E, NL63, HKU1); hMPV, human metapneumovirus; IA, influenza A; IB, influenza B; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.
