Yes that is very possible, secondary infections are not at all uncommon with any virus. Although it's not the presence of another virus usually. In my experience thats usually the time that bacteria makes a move and starts to make you septic. You body makes every effort to rid the virus that it becomes so weak that you body cannot fight off bad bacteria already living in your body.

A good example of this is C-Diff, or MRSA. You have it right now, all of us do. MRSA is on your skin, and C-diff is in your intestine. But because you are healthy it is essentially inert.

The reason these things break out in hospitals is because when a patient presents with an infection viral or bacterial, the treatment often times results in a diminished immunity to other things. The end result is c-diff or MRSA finally gains the upper hand, and a patient who presented with something else, ends up fighting off something worse.
