This case was also co-infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae & Haemophilus influenza type b, so deducing a precise cause of death may be challenging. Data across cases on both chronic *and* acute concurrent conditions will be critical for mortality risk factor analysis.

NOTE: It looks like the has issued a correction about this case’s influenza co-infection. Instead of bacterial influenza type b as they originally reported, the case was co-infected with *viral* influenza b.

There was a correction tweet by WHO later. This patient had pneumococcal and viral flu B coinfection, not Haemophilus influenzae.

Yes, I added it to the thread once I tracked down the relevant correction. Have been offline since this tweet.

The bacteria are likely to be secondary to the virus, as happens with flu. I don’t know if this man had underlying conditions but a healthy 44 -year old is unlikely to contract pneumococcal pneumonia.

Many messages claiming that nCoV would have difficulty spreading in the Philippines bcoz of temperature and humidity, are these valid points?

I would list as primary cause of death on the death certificate since any empiric treatment for community acquired pneumonia would treat H. Influenzas and Strep B

Doesn’t that form a strep more typically affect people that are immunocompromised?
