We thank the authors for their interest and comments regarding our publication [1]. Given the vast amount of literature published on the topic of coinfections and secondary infections with coronavirus disease 2019, as well as the heterogeneity in publication quality, methodological approach, and data reporting strategies, it was necessary to make some assumptions regarding whether studies met the inclusion criteria. We agree there are certainly limitations that may affect the precision of our estimate and have highlighted some of these concerns in our discussion.
