Figure 1: Frequency of Coexistence of Pathogens in COVID-19 Patients. The figure shows the frequency of viral vs bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 patients. The number of viruses detected in 14 ICU patients was 9 (82%) compared to 2 bacteria (18%). Remarkably, 8 coexisting pathogens (•) were detected in 6 dead patients. In 34 non-ICU patients, 36 coexisting pathogens were detected and none of them were involved in mortality (ο). The percentages of the commonly co-infecting viruses and bacteria are also listed according to their prevalence. Remarkably, 5 out of 6 ICU patients died in the coexistence of influenza A H1N1.
