From: Occurrence of HSV-1-induced pneumonitis in patients under standard immunosuppressive therapy for rheumatic, vasculitic, and connective tissue disease

Figure 3

A: Detected primary responsible (leading) infectious agents in 63 patients with ambulatory-acquired pneumonia/pneumonitis and autoimmune disease. RSV = respiratoy syncytial virus. B: Immunosuppression scores were significantly more severe in the 6 patients with HSV-1 detection in BAL than in those subjects without clinical or laboratory evidence for HSV-1 (as assessed for 56/63 patients with reliable information on immunosuppressive regimens available; ** p < 0.01, Mann-Whitney two-sided test).
