Modeling Viral Coinfections of the Respiratory Tract

Many patients hospitalized with influenza-like illnesses have been found to be infected with more than one virus. Clinical studies have found mixed results when investigating whether coinfections lead to more severe disease, with some studies even suggesting that coinfections are less severe than mono-infections. We use mathematical modeling to investigate the range of possible dynamics during viral coinfections in an effort to better understand clinical outcomes.
