Timeline for each individual patient with COVID-19 consecutively admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) during the first pandemic wave. The case number reflects, for each patient, the date of ICU admission to date of death or discharge from the ICU. Red indicates the day of the first Bacteraemia; green indicates the day of Candidaemia, ×indicates the day of death. A polymicrobial population (one strain of Candida and one strain of Gram-negative bacterium) simultaneously grown by the same blood culture in one patient is shown with both colours.
