Occurrence of major infection following SCT is shown both as the number of infective episodes (stratified into neutropenic and nonneutropenic episodes) and the number of patients experiencing each type of infection. Because some patients had multiple episodes, the total number of patients is greater than the overall number of patients experiencing an episode of major infection (n = 55). RSV indicates respiratory syncytial virus; VZV, varicella zoster virus; CMV, cytomegalovirus.
