- Data are presented as number (%)
-
aAll % calculated for 57 or 55 patients, respectively, unless stated otherwise. In case % were calculated for less than the maximal number of patients, data for some patients were missing and the actual denominator is displayed
-
bFour adults tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and three for parainfluenza virus. Other viral infections included respiratory syncytial virus, metapneumovirus, adenovirus, and rhinovirus, each affecting one adult. Parainfluenza virus infected ten children, rhinovirus seven, adenovirus five, Epstein-Barr virus three, influenza A virus one, and metapneumovirus one
-
cOne adult had Haemophilus influenzae, another had Pseudomonas holleri, and a third had Legionella pneumophila. Haemophilus influenzae affected fourteen children, Streptococcus pneumoniae seven, Staphylococcus aureus one, and Klebsiella pneumoniae one
-
dOne adult had Candida parapsilosis and another had Candida tropicalis. One child had Candida albicans, another had Candida parapsilosis, and a third had Aspergillus salviae
