Association With Influenza A Virus and Staphylococcus aureus

Thomas W. Mausbach, MD; Cheng T. Cho, MD, PhD

Am J Dis Child. 1976;130(9):1005-1006.

Abstract
• An 8-month-old infant with severe pneumonia and massive pleural effusions was found to have concurrent infections due to Staphylococcus aureus and influenza A virus. This was proved by the isolation of both agents from the pleural fluid. We believe this is the first case of isolation of an influenza virus from pleural effusions.
