Enrollment of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia according to low or high viral load between 2013 and 2018: intensive care unit (ICU) patients on ventilator support received a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of their respiratory material (bronchoalveolar lavage or tracheobronchial aspirates) in context of a ventilator-associated pneumonia. Figure indicates numbers of patients; figures next to outward pointing arrows show excluded patients. Reasons for exclusion are indicated in boxes. HSV-1, herpes simplex virus type 1; HSV-2, herpes simplex virus type 2; AML, acute myelogenous leukemia; T-ALL, T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. *Statistically significant with p < 0.05 by Fisher’s exact test
